I had the same problem with GPL using the CL 5.22 drivers and got my
game to work in any resolution by extracting the "Nvopengl.dll" file from
the CL 3.68 or earlier drivers (it will work with reference drivers as well)
and putting it in the main GPL folder. GPL will use the 3.68 OpenGL driver
and everything else will run with your currently installed drivers. Hope
this helps.

I put the 3.68 nvopengl.dll driver in my gpl directory but it still
won't give me full screen in anything other than 640x480. Is there
something I am doing wrong or should try? I have a elsa gladiac
geforce 2
Thanks!

Before you buy.
Ah, thx. Now to find the 3.68 drivers. Thx again.

P.S. Just went to Nvidia's web site and only drivers available are
5.22. Any idea where I can find the older drivers?
--
Nos
See Christian's below post for fix. Don't know where to get the older
drivers from though.
--
Nos
OK, found the older drivers at the below url. Tell you friend to get
the 3.68 drivers and try out the fix for GPL. I'll post here if it
works.

Nos
OK, just tested out the fix that Chrisitian posted and it works
perfectly. Yippee! Running at 1024x768 and never below 36 fps with
full field. So tell your friend to get the 3.68 drivers from the url I
posted and put the nvOpengl.dll in the GPL directory. In core.ini you
have to set "MirrorsEvery = 2" or else you get flahing mirrors with it
set at 1. Have also found that if I have sidebanding enabled on my
Geforce2 then GPL locks up just before entering the 3D part. So tell
him to make sure sidebanding is disabled before playing GPL. Nvidia's
drivers don't have sidebanding enabled yet, I believe. But, I'm using
Creative's drivers which allow you to set that option on or off.

Nos
I cant see the url, you please post it again? I have a TNT2 and the same
problem you described (left upper corner only view) with the latest
detonator drivers.
Thanks,
JeDa
Sorry, must have forgot to post it. At the below url under the files
section.
