If your running Win95, this is common. You can edit your Autoexec.bat
to use the cd in Dos.

Go to edit in Dos, bring up Autoexec.bat, you'll see a line that says
"rem by windows command" C:\device=mcdex.......blah blah blah.
You need to remove the rem statement, then save. This will allow the
cd driver to load when you boot into Dos.

You could also make a boot disk with the same adjustments, if you
don't like the idea of permenantly changing your files.

Also,...if you run a FULL install, you don't need the cd. I do this,
and I haven't seen anything different about the game play. I might be
missing the intro music and video, and maybe a more elaborate winners
circle scene, but I don't win often enough to worry about it!

Good luck.

   Found answer at siera page. When starting game cd\nascar2 (enter)
then type nascar2 instead of n2 and the intro does not play,but you'l
be able to race by modem as long as cd in.
