I hope this isn't a DUMB question but.....
Do you have a 3dfx video card? If not you have chosen the 3dfx 3d mode in
gpl and that won't work with anything BUT a 3dfx card. That is why the
program is calling for the glide2x.dll file, trouble is, once it finds it,
the program doesn't know what to do with it.(only a 3dfx based system would)
try the software mode then dload and install the d3d patch if you haven't
yet.
let us know the parts of your system too..
OS, video card etc
good luck

I just push the setup button on my monitor to get the resolution & refresh
rate info. I believe most modern monitors show thin info on the OSD.
BTW, the multi-monitor thingy in the nVidia drivers (40.41 & 30.82) caused a
"cannot find redline.dll" error. Redline.dll is a rendition file & it's
possible that it's related to your 3dfx file not found problem. Had you
enabled the multi-monitor tools?
