I had this last week, you need to get an earlier version of glide2x.dll (version 2.53) and stick it in your gpl directory, gpl will use this version and your other software will be unaffected. You can get the file from http://www.shadows.com/nascar/ Ian

Check your advanced voodoo2 setup (ie. forcing mipmaps and such) and turn them off. Im not sure which checkbox did it but i had similar graphics problems when using them under GPL.

Try putting the previous version of glide2x.dll (version 2.53) in your GPL directory. You can get it at http://www.shadows.com/nascar/. Hope this helps, Dave Ewing
