I just installed a CL TNT in my P2, 300MHz, 192MB machine and I can only get GPL in 640x480. At 800x600, I get a blank screen and the engine sounds respond to the throttle. If I try a higher res, the machine reboots. I am using the latest nVidia drivers and have my core.ini set with TossHighestMip = 1 ;MipFiltering =2 ;MirrorsEvery = 2. No overclocking on anything. I did a fresh install of Win98 and a fresh GPL install and a fresh OpenGL patch install and still the same. Other D3D games run fine, as does Quake2 OpenGL. Any suggestions?

Try the 550245 drivers from this page, fixed it for me. http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/computing/vendor/diamondmm/display/ standard settings in core.ini in any resolution, best with mirror setting=2. Marcus

downloaded the latest CL drivers and it worked fine. I am now using the Hercules drivers and they work fine too.
I too have a CL TNT, and I use the latest Hercules drivers.These so far are the best as they are based on the newer NVidia .048 reference drivers, and the display tabs have a lot of tweaking options.
