Until 3Dfx fixes their broken Glide 2.54 drivers, you'll need to
download the non-DX6 Voodoo2 reference drivers from 3Dfx, extract the
files, and then copy the working version 2.53 glide2x.dll into your GPL
folder.

Excuse me if this has been addressed before. I just installed GPL
(Full). It starts fine, goes into the menu where you name your driver,
which I do. After about 10-20 seconds in that menu my mouse freezes
and my system locks solid, requireing a reboot. I see no issues in the
readme.txt to address this and Sierra online "knowledge base" is
laughable. Has anyone had this rather annoying problem occur? I have
two systems and its EXACTLY the same problem on both...
Sys #1
P2 450
128 megs
Matrox G200 and 2 CL V2 12meg in SLI (I select 3DFX)
SB Live
3Com NIC
All the latest drivers for all cards installed
Sys #2
P2 450
128 megs
STB 4400 TnT Card
1 CL V2 card - (3DFX selected)
SB32 PnP
3Com NIC
Thanks

If what Eric mentioned does not work......
Are your 3DFX cards right next to your 2D cards?
If so it could very well be a HEAT problem.
If you want you can try to move the V2 card a slot or two away
from your 2D cards(if you have the space)
Heat is a very bad thing...hehe.

Yikes... As I had the game installed and hadn't used it for a while (a
*** unhooking all my TM gear to connect my MS FF Wheel), I knew it
was something that had changed, and the only thing was getting the
latest 3DFX , SB Live, and G200 drivers....
I'll try copying the 2.53 glide driver over, thanks Eric.

Grabbed the drivers, just had the install throw them into GPL and all
set now... Thanks again Eric!
