When driving green lines appear at the top of the screen -in the black-,some menu's start to flicker and
the mouse is sometimes flickering!
System P II 300,viper 330 4mb,voodoo1 and 64Mb sdram.
Am i the only one with this problem or what??
According to the setup i have the wrong Active-Movie installed (i have a dutch Windows 98) and i should
uninstall it and install the one from the CD,.......could this be the cause of the problem????

Hi Ruud,

Know what, I got the same problem (green lines)  once.....Almost the
same spec as you, even being Dutch, except I've got the PII-266 and
W95(English, OSR2.1). I think it's the voodoo-1  getting hot. I've got
a Diamond Voodoo 1.

Also I've got the flashing menu problem, and multiple mouse pointers.
It doesn't occure much, and personaly I don't care. Oh BTW,
Active-Movie isn't the cause....

Remco

The flashing menu and multiple mouse pointers is usually caused when
(memory is going and I'm not at my machine...) Tri-liner buffering or
something is turned on.  For GPL almost every option needs to be turned
off for the best performance.  I am talking about the options on the
Voodoo card properties.

Well, I'll reply again to the same thread....

I have a 3DFX Cool on my Monster 3D and it still happens.  The chip is cooler with the fan, but I
don't think
it is heat.

BTW, I am using Win 98.  I have tried the Win98 generic drivers, Diamonds latest (ancient 1.01 from
March!!!)
and the newest 3DFX reference drivers.

I have Flash3d VoodooI and have this same problem.
What is the environment variable that sets the tri-linear buffering?

Only an idea:
In my Canopus-setup there is a parameter for an
I-don't-know-what-it-is frequency. If to high, I also have this
flickering.

Hope this helps.
