GPL 1.2 menu lock up

Since applying the 1.2 patch I've has regular lockups when interacting with menus etc. Main time comes when I need to save car setups to a new filename (e.g. first outing at a track with a given car type) - when it prompts for filename sometime it will lock solid (requiring PC reset - C-A-D doesn't work) after I've typed a few chars. Also, this weekend I've had a go at online racing for the first time and noticed similar problems there where after a disconnect GPL locks up when (or erhaps before) I press the OK button to reconnect. Anyone seen anything similar and have a solution Thanks Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I am having exactly the same menu cursor lockup problem with one of my GPL machines. It's a PIII 450 with Voodoo2 and win98 (first edition). If I stop using Glide and go back to software the lockups go away. But I want to run Glide!.... I have another machine which is PIII300 and Voodoo2 and Win95 and this works perfectly. Both machines are on identical (latest) drivers. Doe anyone have any idea what could be going wrong? Manxcat Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I've had this problem too when I was using glide driver version 2.54 (which came with my V2 at that time). Switching back to v2.53 or upgrading to v2.56 did solve the problem. The 2.56 driver for Voodoo-II can be found at www.3dfx.com. Success, Jan.

I believe I am using glide v2.53 - I have the 2.53 DLL in the GPL directory ... but I am also using the "mirror patch" and I needed to binary edit that to point to a renamed DLL for the glide 2.53. Perhaps I need to double check that I'm not still actually getting v2.54! > I've had this problem too when I was using glide driver version 2.54 (which > came with my V2 at that time).

Thank you this has solved my problem. My confusion was that I couldn't see a new driver on the latest 3DFX site. I had to download the Beta DirectX7 drivers and extract the latest Glide driver from that. 2.56 is great Manxcat <snip> Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
