If you have triple buffering enabled, turn it off and try again. Todd Walker wrote:

That did the trick Eric! Thanks a MILLION!!! TW Todd Walker twalker294 at earthlink.net

Well, GPL was working just fine with the newest patch (1.2.0.1) until I installed Half Life again. Now when I go into GPL, the screen flickers SEVERELY in the opening screens (the title screen, track selection screen, etc.) The actual gameplay screen is fine, but when I go to the replay, the replay information that is above and below the game window flickers too. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game both with and without the patch and it does the same thing. I also have the latest drivers for my video card. This is the only game I have this trouble with. My system config: Voodoo3 3000 AGP Celeron 300A oc'ed to 450Mhz 64 megs PC100 SDRAM Abit BH6 m/b etc and so forth..... HELP!!!!!!

Turn off triple buffering in your 3dfx display properties. -- Eric "Todd Walker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Well, GPL was working just fine with the newest patch (1.2.0.1) until > I installed Half Life again.

No, it actually had nothing to do with Half-Life. I forgot that I had enabled triple buffering as well, and installing HL was the only thing that I could think of that could have caused a problem. I figured since it was a Sierra game as well, it could have overwritten a critical file or something...my mistake!
