For what it's worth: last night I finally got fed up with not being able to run OpenGL GPL without the blinking mirror and/or blinking screen problem on my TNT2. (Yes I've tried tweaking the opengl variables in the core.ini file) Since I am using Win2000 RC3 at work, I decided to install it, install the 3.56 nvidia drivers with the working nvogl.dll file, and give GPL a shot. To my amazement, GPL ran fine in OpenGL 1024x768! I was even surprised that Win2k recognized, and installed a driver for my LWFF as well (albeit no force feedback) Now if I could just find a workaround to get the LWFF software to install and not tell me I need Win95 or Win98......... -Jeff

I assume that the mirrors still don't work properly ? -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

No, everything works fine! I apologize if I wasn't clear, but other than not having any Force Feedback, everything works perfect in opengl

I don't have that file, but I do have a lwusbhid.inf file?

According to the WingmanTeam, W2K RC2/3 supports LWFF on the USB, it needs the lwusbhid.sys file, which suppose to ship with W2K, but I can't find it on my CD-ROM or HD... If you have a copy of the file, you may want to give it a try, and send me a copy while you are at it! -- Jaz Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
