I get the game going and race a quickrace, then the screen blanks at
the end of the race. Also, if I'm in the game and hit the Esc key the
screen blanks out also. There is no DOS. What do I do?

Have you got a Matrox Mystique video card?
There are some issues this video card has with GP2 that are resolved
with
a bios upgrade to v1.4.
My 1st Mystique card used to crash if I hit the escape key while running
GP2.
Later, with my 2nd Mystique card, there was some extra noises!  Both
these issues are now resolved with v1.4.

Go to: www.matrox.com

Download the v1.4 BIOS upgrade and install it.

I have no problem with GP2 with win95b so it must be something else.

Eh!! Install DOS and cut adrift the W95 anchor (racing cars don't like
towing anchors, it slows em up!).

If you have windows 95, you HAVE Dos.  Obviously you don't have windows 95.
