I've got a weird problem with GPL. I just put in a V4500 after a complete format and re-install of win95. I reloaded GPL and now when I go into the program using the drivers that came with the card I can do everything except click on the green or red boxes on the bottom of the page. This causes me to have to reboot. I tried putting the 2.53 driver in the GPL directory and this allows me to navigate the menus properly but then GPL doesn't recognize that I have a 3dfx card. So then I applied the d3d patch and everything works fine in d3d but of course the frame rates aren't as good as with my old V2 sli setup. Can anyone give me a hint of what's going on?

using the D3D patch? re-install GPL without the D3D patch and download the latest drivers from http://www.3dfxgamers.com 3DFX cards work best in Glide, and so does GPL. Don't get the Direct X8 though, that will probably create problems you don't want. It's weird you are getting problems because the Voodoo cards are probably by far the best for GPL.
