   What version of Windows are you using?  Some older versions (95,
95a) don't fully support AGP (since it wasn't invented yet :).

   I found this out when I tried to upgrade from an ISA to PCI sound
card.  Apparently the way Win95a (mis-)handles an AGP video card
causes conflicts with PCI devices.  :(

G'day Jeff,
System is win95 with 98 upgrade and all upgrades since,the crazy thing is i
can run GPL,TOCA2,but when i come to running SCGT it won't let me passed
initial menu,start button is black,even when i try to start in software
mode,man i was running this game well last week in 3DFX until i had to
re-install win98upgrade,thats why i suspect an obscure driver.
