I. INSTALLING NR2003/NR2005
=======================
Install your copies of NASCAR® Racing 2003 Season and NASCAR® Racing 2005 Season First. ( A fresh install is required for a success in this process, After you install both, then you can put in your backup copies of track,cars...etc). Follow on Screen instructions as you install the 2 games.
After this is done, follow on to Step 2.
II. GETTING UPDATES/BACKUP'S
============================
(NR2003 Only)
Go to www.onlineracin.com/racing/downloads.asp and download NR2003 Latest Patch 1.2.0.1. and install to NR2003 Main Directory
(NR2003 and NR2005 )
Now put in your backup copies of tracks,car mods...etc.
After this is done, go to step 3
III. Loading NR2003 and NR2005
========================
Now after you've already done Step 1-2 Start up NR2003/NR2005 Config 3D Graphics, follow Instructions, and then start up NR2003/NR2005 Config 3D Graphics.
Start up NR2003/NR2005, then go to Testing Session , Click Continue (Makes no difference in what track) and Click Drive. If it continues and you can drive without crashing you have successfully installed NR2003 and you don't have to go any further on this guide, but if you crash cause of a DEP (Data Execution Process). Close this program and please continue reading this guide.
After this is done, go to step 4
IV. CRASHING BECAUSE OF DEP
======================
Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
Data Execution Prevention is a security feature that can be a bit of a pain at times. Often things will simply appear not to run at all; hopefully you will notice a bubble from the taskbar letting you know that DEP is the cause. If Vista (and actually this has been around since Windows Server 2003) sees that a process is being spawned that "could" be unwanted, DEP shuts it down. This is especially common in some application installations: if a Windows Installer setup (MSI) calls an executable in Vista, DEP could very well put a stop to it. If you are trying to run an installation or other executable being stopped by DEP, it could save you some trouble so turn it off while you attempt to give it another shot…
To disable, Continue to step 5
V. DISABLING THIS FEATURE
====================
To disable DEP to get NR2003/NR2005 do the following:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
Then Restart your computer.
This will remain off ALWAYS!
If you do not feel secure after racing your game turn it back on by putting in the following command
* DO NOT DO THIS IF YOUR GOING TO RACE ANYMORE FOR THAT COMPUTER SESSION OR YOU WILL HAVE TO DISABLE AGAIN*:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn
then restart your pc and it will now Be ON!
Continue to step 6
VI. LOADING NR2003/NR2005
=====================
Now launch one of your games, and if you can get on the track and drive... then you have got it working.
If not, retry this from step IV AND VI.
