suspect. I had similar problems with my Banshee Blaster card in D3D games
before I applied the VXD fix mentioned elsewhere
(http://www.racesimcentral.net/~revolutn/win98_vxd_fix.htm), but once I "freshened" my
VXD files, the D3D problems went away. It's not uncommon for things in the
Win95/98 OS to become corrupted and degrade over time (must be a Microsoft
"feature"), so I wouldn't blame the game programmers.
Hope this helps.
