Hi,
Has anyone found a fix for this bug? I already have the latest patch installed but I have no clue what causes this. D3D/Glide Wrappers don't make a difference. Nascar 2000 also seems to have the same problem. Could it be DirectInput related? It happens from WinXP onwards.

Ah yes the alt key problem, we all know what that is

The game freezes in WinXp if you not hold the Alt key.
Win9x is ok.

I think you can try the game in win98se with
QEMU 3Dfx Glide Pass-Through Topic 60950

Anyway, just wondering, is it really that annoying? as it kind of looks like a perfect pause feature.

Here's an Autohotkey script that should fix it. Have it running in the background and press both left and right Alt after launching the game.

One for both games. I don't have Nascar 2000 so it's untested.

Another alternative:

I tried dgVoodoo instead of Dxwnd and moving the window really solves the issue, though I was unable to go fullscreen afterwards.
