Why is it that when I load up the game, the 3DFX box shows 'none', then
when I choose 3DFX, a msg tells me that it will be only be enabled at
the start up of the game again. but when I restart the game the 3DFX box
still shows 'none'

Anyone help???

Thanks, and happy racing!

Do you have a Voodoo video card installed?  Was it installed when you
installed GPL?

Reinstall the game, and this time, during installation, when it asked which
mode you want to install (software, 3Dfx or Renition), select 3Dfx...

Try changing this entry in \sierra\gpl\app.ini:
[ Graphics ]
lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll          ; Last rasterizer DLL selected

This is most likely because GPL can't find your Glide2x.dll - make sure
you have one and it is either in the Win95 System directory, or in the GPL
directory itself.

Hope this helps.

Steve.
