GP2 (running under DOS of course) works perfectly with my Voodoo 3 but always runs at the default monitor refresh rate of 60Hz, which is far too flickery for me. In windows my card/monitor combination can handle 120Hz at 640x480 but I can't figure out how you set the refresh rate in DOS. On my old PC I had a S3 video card and a small DOS program (s3refresh) with which you could set the refresh rate before going into GP2. Is there a similar program for Voodoo 3? *bl

Udner real dos? I cant get gp2 to run with my V3 unless its under windows. Quit to dos or start in dos and it just doesnt start? How did you do that? >GP2 (running under DOS of course) works perfectly with my Voodoo 3 but >always runs at the default monitor refresh rate of 60Hz, which is far too >flickery for me.

I just made a DOS boot disk and start with that each time I want some GP2. Seems to work perfectly. Could your sound card be the problem? I have a Videologic Sonic Vortex 2 which seems to have good DOS drivers, compatible with GP2 but strangely not compatible with the GP2 sound card test!. *bl
