Make sure Vsynch ( Vertical Synch) is disabled for Open GL in your properties.

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.


  When I get into the***pit view for a race the screen flickers (sort of like a blink). It also flickers in the menu screen that is used for joining a race. I'm talking about offline racing, here. Anybody have a similar problem and fixed it?
  my system consists of:
  pentiumIII  450
  SBlive s/card
  Winfast geforce2 GTS graphics card
  am using opengl option
  thanks

Overclocking your CPU? That is what was causing my flickering problem.

I had the same problem.  Change to the openGL in place of direct3D.  That
worked for me and I over clock my CPU as well.

I should have been more clear. It isnt the fact that I have my CPU OC'd, it
is that the AGP bus is OC'd along with it. Since my MB doesnt give me the
option of a 1/2 AGP divider I have to settle for the 2/3 setting. ABIT BE6
MB only supports 100mhz bus speeds so there is not the 1/2 AGP divider that
you see on boards that support 133mhz bus speeds.

This is fine when I have my 600mhz clocked at 100 bus speed because the SGP
bus is at it's standard 66mhz, but when I clock my CPU bus speed to 133
(which I have had it at for some time) to achieve 800mhz, then the AGP bus
shoots to nearly 90mhz which this damn GeForce2 can not take. My V3-3000 has
never had a problem but I would prefer to keep the GeForce2 and just make an
upgrade to my CPU in the near future. N4 seems to be more CPU dependant then
Graphics anyway.

M***of the story... AGP bus overclocking can sometimes cause the
flickering, not necissarily CPU overclocking.
