I loaded DirectX 8 for N4 and that works fine. When I play GPL the screen locks up. I can still hear the audio but the video is locked up. My system: PIII 600 256 ram voodoo 3 3000 (latest drivers) win 98se Any ideas? Thanks, Chris G.

Every time there is an DX update, people have similar problems, whilst others have ZERO. I can only say the installing of DX8 was not the cause but rather the final straw in a system near collapse. Try the dx8 compatible drivers from x3dfx or the following site. http://212.227.82.148/fz/drivers/ good luck dave henrie

I had this problem with my V3 running glide with dx8 but it worked ok in D3D, conspiracy theorists may think Mickeysoft were out to knobble glide. Gennarelli <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%Loy6.116261$[email hidden]...
