The bink32.dll file is a video codec file that Nascar Heat uses for video playback in replays. It should be installed in the "run" folder in the main nascar heat files.

Using this patch will properly install the missing file however its use for the intro video (when you start the game).

Change the location, it gives you an option in the installer, or you can just move the files yourself.

Moved to Technical Support, which is where this type of topic should go.

Your right, didnt realize the issue with that patch, possible something to be fixed in the future. But you can just move the files.

Also, glad you found the issue by removing the file from your system files.
