You need to make a registry entry. here are a two old posts that
explain what to do. read them CAREFULLY, then read them again, before
getting into the registry.

Subject: How to fix GPL mirrors with any Nvidia driver
I just got the GPL demo yesterday and after seeing how good it is, I
plan on buying the game. There was a problem with the cars' mirrors
though, which I've learned has been a long-time issue with the
tnt/tnt2 cards. I searched the internet for a solution and came
across a message here about using the 3.53 reference drivers with the
"Use Block Transfer" setting to fix the problem, which works
perfectly. The only problem is that those drivers suck hehe. I
wanted to know how to enable that setting with the 2.08 drivers (the
best ones imo), and discovered that this fix can be applied to any
driver version by simply changing the value of the "FlippingControl"
setting in the registry to "0".
Depending on the driver version, this setting can be found in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\RIVA TNT\OpenGL], or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display\00
01\NVidia\OpenGL]
When doing a fresh install, the settings won't appear in the registry
until an opengl game is run once.

You'll probably use the second path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display\000
1\NVid ia\OpenGL
Keep in mind, that the 0001 could be 0000 or 0002 or whatever,
depending on the number of cards you HAVE or the number of drivers
you HAD installed. When you open the folder, look on the right side
of the split screen for "FlippingControl". Double click it and a box
will open. Type 0 in the box and close the registry (just hit the x
to close the window). It automatically saves the changes. Generally
you don't have to reboot, but you may have to.
