NASCAR4, XP, & Glide?

Hey guys

Just upgraded my card from a voodoo3 to a geforce 2 mx400 and XP. I
have it setup as dual boot and havent tried it in 98, but when i
select my hardware and resolution in glide, it goes through and does
its thing selecting textures and what not, but after a few secs it
locks up. If i select d3d its fine, but i was told glide runs alot
better and has a better quality image. Any help with this, i have the
latest official xp drivers (it says 2.3.1.1 in properties). Any help
would be appreciated!

TIA
Luke

I am assuming you mean Open GL?
If so, the drivers that come with Win XP for the GeForce cards do not have
Open GL support, you'll need to download drivers from Nvidia.com ( I am
using the 23.11's), or beta drivers from another site, or the drivers that
came with your MX400.

Hmm, yes that one too.. i did actually mean opengl not glide :). The
first thing i did when i got my card was download the 23.11 detonator
drivers so that cant be the problem, so im going for a re-install.
What sort of framerate/ graphical improvements are there with openGL?

TIA
Luke
