Pentium-class machine.
Running from D: drive
after the second attempt to run it, the above appears along with the
following
UniVBE driver not present
Initializing Glide
Opening screen
Initializing texture cache
Creating s***
Digital Sound
Port 220 IRQ 5 DMA 1
Confirmed with SB16 8 ST
531264 Conventional 75399120 Normal 75399120 All 75399120 Largest
Double Buffering
So, it stops the first time at the UniVBE driver detection. I would try
loading a UniVBE driver, but I plan on getting NASCAR1999 soon, so why
bother. The other thing that happens is after I play N2, when I shut down or
restart the machine, it hangs and I must c-a-d and end task on Vshwin to get
the machine to shut down. But the game works fine, otherwise. Somewhere,
there's some conflict, but in a week or two, I'll be playing N99.

I used to play Nascar 2 on a P166 with a Matrox Mystique 4MB and a Diamond
Monster 4 MB without any troubles. Besides, I never had any problems with
the Mystique, and I own some 30 games...

The problem is caused by your anti virus program running in the
background. I
have the same problem and have found that it was the McAfee Vshield
program
causing NASCAR2 to hang when loading and exiting the game. Here is
how to fix
it.
Look next to your clock display and find the Vshield icon. Right
click on that
icon, then select disable. Start and run N2. When finished with game
and back
in windows; be sure to right click on the Vshield icon and select
enable. This
will turn the anti virus program back on. When you hit c-a-d and end
task on
Vshwin; you are shutting down the Vshield program.
