Turning off the Creative Launcher cured most of my GPL problems. -- don New GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker1.freeserve.co.uk/gpl/index.html http://www2.tpg.com.au/users/brucek/hmrc/index.htm

Help! I have just bought a Sound Blaster Live! 1024 sound card and when playing GPLegends my 3dfx Voodoo is displaying corrupt graphics at the top of the screen. This becomes progressively worse and I have to quit the game to the menus or the replay. I do not use any tweaks, to overclock or modify the refresh rate. Please help.

Obviously this has only just started since you got the SBLive 1024, in which case it could be something like an IRQ conflict with the Voodoo and the Live. If you run 'System Information' which is in 'system tools' in the accessories folder of your menu, it will list which devices use which resources, and if there are any conflicts. Basically, you should try the SBLive in a different PCI slot. It should say in your motherboard manual which PCI slots share an IRQ with the AGP slot. Hope that helps some...
