The main problem is the flickering mouse,the green images on the top of the screen,seems like a***pit to me and the flickering menu's (sometimes) What Voodoo you are using,..i'm using Voodoo1 and i have the latest drivers installed,so that shouldn't be the problem!! -- Greetings :)RuuD? +------------------------------+

voodoo2 dx6 drivers cause mouse anomalies in the menu's, but don't affect the race.

I had the graphic problems with DX5, until I downloaded the new drivers for my CL V2 12 M card. Glide 2.53 was included in these drivers and the changing ***pit side flashing stopped. It was rock solid. Also did a DX6 upgrade after that and it's still graphically solid. You may want to look for a revised set of 3dfx drivers and ensure the 2.53 or higher version of Glide is included. Russ Russ

I got two A-Trends Helios V2 12mb running in SLI mode. 1024x768 and using newest beta drivers from 3Dfx. WinGlide 2.x driver ver. 2.54 and WinGlide 3.x ver. 3.01. Only problem is the mouse leaving small graphical errors in the menus which are 640x480 btw. When driving everything looks just beautiful :) Knudse .
