I've been running GP3 with official patch for quite a while now without problems under WinME. But today, the screen kept flickering during the game...this is for all camera views. I changed resolution (Hardware Mode) but the flickering remained. I tried a few DirectX settings but it didn't affect the flickering. This isn't normal screen flicker caused by low refresh rates. There appears to be a light brown image quickly projected onto the screen which then disappears. The flickering is concentrated in the lower half of the screen. I'm running the Hercules WinME 6.35 drivers and DirectX8. I uninstalled GP3 and then re-installed from the CD. The flickering disappeared. But when I applied the official patch the flickering reappeared. Anyone know of a fix for this? TIA. -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu E-mail : ksmatharu # ieee . org [without the spaces and where #=@] Website: http://www.matharu.demon.co.uk/ t.i.n.s.t.a.a.f.l.
