Sports Car GT Display Problems

(Posted again because I think it was removed from the server)
To start out, ill give a description of my system, so you know whats what:

Asus P2B Bios rev 1007
64MB PC100 TI (Texas Instruments?) SDRAM
Intel Celeron 300A (450) 2.0v + GlobalWin Fab 2-4
STB Velocity V4400 AGP w/ TNT Detonator 1.15
Diamond MX300
Creative 24Xmx
Win98 w/ all the latest updates + IE5
192MB Swap File

(It did this with the demo, and i never solved the problem with that. It
also does this
with the STB 1.52 drivers as well. No other processes are running, not even
RC5. :) )

Now, the game runs fine, it runs beautifully and only slows down if im in
the middle of the
pack at the start of the race (w/ all options on). The problem is that the
mouse leaves
trails in the option menus. It doesnt do this in the replay, and there arent
any problems
in the game. It also switches back to the desktop for a second after a race.
Half Life
did both of these to me before I increased the swap file to 192MB.
Now thats pretty big, and I dont want to have to make it even bigger!
Im thinking it just needs extra memory, Ive used all the options in the
Nvidia
Quicktweak control panel, I think ive exhausted all my options. I have been
hearing from
other SCGT players with TNT cards that are having the same problem.  One
player says
when he puts his voodoo I card in and uses 3dfx drivers it doesnt do this,
so it has something
to do with D3D and the TNT. Ig you are having this problem and cant fix it,
please contact EA
so we can get a fix. They wont know anything if nobody says anything. And
yes, I have made
sure mouse trails arent on in mouse settings. Thanks in advance.
