I have a problem running an old DOS game on my XP Pro SP2.

It's a racing game from 5-6 years ago, not so old really, it's
similar to Need For Speed 2 SE which I have on my PC and it runs well, in
normal mode or in accelerated (Radeon 9600 + Glide Wrapper).

I also play Quake 1, Doom and that kind of oldies with no problem,
but this one refuses to run.

I've tried with DOSBox but there was no result what so ever.
The game doesn't even show on screen, it only makes the screen
go black for half a second and then returns to normal.

I've tried with compatibility mode, but no results.

If anyone has a trick to make it run...I really want to run it,
and if NFS2, Doom and Quake can run on my computer, I think that
there is a way of making this one run as well...

The game is called "Network Q RAC Rally"...

So, all advices are appreciated...thanks 😳)

We need more info. What exact commands (specially mounting drives) you used for DOSBox?

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

Did you get your game copy from the Underdogs? I'm not sure if this is a DOSBox-related problem, because I can't even get this copy running on my "real" 486...
