I just bought a Geforce2 mx-200, i'm running it with a dell PII 400 (i know it's slow) with 128megs of ram. I can run GPL in openGL but I don't like the menu resize problem. As soon as I try D3D with the patch, I get in the cockpit and it freezes. Sometimes I can get about 100 yards down the track but it freezes. When it stops, the sound keep going but nothing else work, keyboard is dead, wheel, pedals, mouse.. so I have to reboot. I'm currently running the 12.90 drivers, I tried the 22.80 and the 21.83. Nothing works. Can anyone help?
If you're running on line, make sure you shut down ZoneAlarm (if you're running it). This is a known problem with ZoneAlarm and GPL on line. If you're not running ZA then I don't have a clue.

Usually that is a sign of the core overheating and causing it to crash. Odd that you can run fine in openGL though. Try disabling AGP 4x, altering you AGP aperature, etc. in the bios. Also try different drivers (although you've tried a few. Oh, and maybe try some extra cooling, like opening up your case. Rafe Mc On Fri, 23 Nov 2001 16:27:19 -0500, "Bla Bla" <[email hidden]> wrote:
