MS Cart + patch + Voodoo II ?

I recently upgraded to a Monster II, and when I attempt to set the graphics to 3Dfx I get a 'mutual exclusion prevents this' message, then I'm dumped back to '95. Does anyone know what combination of settings this message box is referring to? I am running the cart101 patch. Thanks

If you're running a batch for CPR,don't use it. If not,try deleting the 101 patch from your temp directory and reinstall it again.Of course you know you need the triglide .dll file with the 101 patch for voodoo 3dfx to work.If that doesn't help then delete the set commands from your autoexe.bat file.You must not be using the gold drivers.Try installing the latest V2 reference drivers from www.3dfx.com before removing the set commands. ======================================= "Trespassers will be shot.Survivors will be shot again."

I had the same problem and came across a fix from "The APEX CART Precision Racing Message Board" at http://cart.gamestats.com/ceilidh/ceilidh.htm - I installed CPR, applied the patch, and then put the triglide.dll file in CPR directory. In the <CPR directory>\system\cart.ini file, make sure there's a line: rendererDLLPath=D:\GAMES\MICROSOFT GAMES\CART PRECISION RACING\triglide.dll Ensure that it says "triglide.dll" and not "trid3d.dll".
