It means that you are probably running GP2 via WINBLOZE instead of DOS. Now if the real problem with framerates is that everyone is runing GP2 without a DOS re-boot, I will laugh very loudly. I will find out tonight :-)

It's not a bug (at least not in GP2). The Windows key should be avoided at all costs when running DOS games under Win 95. It is a _major_ problem in Quake if you are using the keyboard with the default keys :( Run GP2 from DOS. it was what it was designed for. Richard
You can get a fix for this problem at http://www.microsoft.com. It is part of the kernel toys and disables the logo key (as it is called) when you disable the Ctrl-Esc key for a DOS program. Maurice van der Zwaan
