GeForce2 and GPL -- flickering in menus problem

Sorry folks, I know this has been discussed before.

I upgraded my Asus GeForce2 drivers yesterday (to 6.31) and the dreaded menu
flicker is back.  I tried the NVidea Detonator3 reference drivers a while
back and they caused this same problem, so I thought I'll wait for the
official Asus release (little did I know it would take so many months and
they still aren't posted on the North American site).

Anyway, before I go back to 5.33a, what settings normally clear up the menu
flicker with D3D cards?  I would like to try a few adjustments, but am too
ignorant to know which ones will make the difference.  As usual, the in-game
graphics are fine.

Thanks,

Marc.

I've never heard of a fix yet (maybe there is, I dunno), apart from going
back to 5.xx drivers.  I just put up with it, since all you have to do is
switch menu pages to get rid of it.

Oddly enough I get this with a Radeon but *only* in menu screens when racing
against teh AI.

I know people have cleared up the same problem with some other cards by
adjusting some of the advanced settings...
