System:
Windows 98
Pentium Celeron 300mhz
96 Mb Ram
Diamond Monster Fusion (PCI 16mb)

It's a problem with the video. I can run the game in software (ick).
But when I try hardware it kicks me out after 20-30 seconds, no matter
where I am. Any clue?

possiable problem : Direct X doesn't recconize the 3d card as a d3d
video card. But I'm able to run it in d3d in most games. could this be
the problem?

Thanks alot,
DjFIL

Get the latest 3dfx banshee drivers and DX7.

the 3dfx drivers don't work fully. Can't get out of 640x480 with out going to
16 color. But when I did try to run F1 2000 It worked with 3d... except the
game needs 800x600 reso to work, or a chunk of screen is cut. and it was slow
as software at higher res. When I had the 30 seconds of 3dfx with normal
drivers car model in choice screen moved fine. But any way... now to
reinstall dx. But... I have a problem. I can't uninstall it the way the MS
DX site says to. It's not to be found in my "uninstall program" window.
What do I do?

ps: thanks for giving a hand.
