CPR Glide full screen

by vikt » Fri, 03 Apr 1998 04:00:00

I have installed both the Microsoft patch and triglide.dll patch and checked
that I have Glide 2.43.  Under render, I am able to select "3dfx".  Once I
want to start the game, I get a warning message that says it is unable to
open a full screen.  The game is only able to be played in a window.  Any
clues as to what is wrong?  Thanks in advance.

I am running a Voodoo1.  Seems to work if I set the desktop to 640x480x256.
256 is the minimum required.  Thanks rrevved.

I am running a Voodoo1.  Seems to work if I set the desktop to 640x480x256.
