I have just put together my new computer.It is a 300a overclocked to
450,with 128 mb ram,a 10 gig and a 6.8 gig harddrive.monster mx300
soundcard and stb 4400 video card.I can play all the games except
Nascar99 and Gpl.Well actually I can play them but they look
terrible.Someone told me it was because my video card doesn't support
glide.Is there any way around this?Or any patches made to correct it?

You need something called a 0.48 miniGL driver from nVidia, for
starters. Do a www.dejanews.com search for this and you'll
probably get the specifics. If not, poke around at
www.gamestats.com, in the forum section.

Well for GPL you can install the .48 reference drivers from NVidia and
use the beta OpenGL rasterizer from www.papy.com

Hi,I tried the opengl drivers .It let me change the resolution and the
game runs smoother.But the option menus are black and the print just is
unreadable .Is this normal?I have tried looking for the >48 mini gl
drivers but have had no luck finding them .Does anyone have a link for
these?Can the same routine be used to play Nascar 99 in open gl?just
thought I would ask?
thanks for all the help

The .48 reference drivers do fix the glPixelZoom problem. Are you sure
you installed them correctly?
