Here are some possible solutions (these are quite simple, so don't expect
them to work, really - but it's worth a try if you havn't tried them yet)
* if you are using Windows 95 try to start in DOS mode
* try to re-install the game - I had a similar problem with some corrupt
file at Brazil which caused my system to lock up - worked fine after
re-installing
* try to install the game on another system - if it doesn't work there
either it may be a problem with your CD, if it does work, it could be a
problem with your system. It could then either be a configuratin or
compatibility problem (anyone else having experience w/ the ATI mach64,
guys?), or it could be a damaged card (this is more difficult to resolve and
quite unlikely if GP2 is the only software that locks)

I'll say. Talk about sluggish performance with the ATI. I just
upgraded from the mach64 to the mystique and gained about six - eight
fps in svga. The ATI is not a good card for GP2
