GPL - Graphics Question

After playing GPL for about an hour, occasionally the screen seems to 'melt'; the best way to describe it is as if someone let water run down a newly painted canvas. I have never seen this before (the game also freezes up sometimes). When I shut GPL down there is a new folder which appears in Explorer called 'W' and a message that reads 'folder can not be moved as it has been removed'. Any ideas I have a PII450 with 256mbRam, 8.4GB hard drive, 2xMonster Diamond 2 3dfx cards, MSFF wheel and upto date drivers loaded. PJ

I know Calder did some BMWs for LeMans, maybe Dali did the tracks in '67! Same here with respect to the effects you describe. I take it to be overheating of the 3Dfx chipset.
