I had the same prob with my TNT 1 (it occasionally surfaced with some of the newer game demos). I followed Papy's recommendation to update the Nvidia drivers (I had 3.68) to 5.22 and the problem went away. -Keith Karl Zosel wrote:

any clues? Even in the game menu's many words just have disappeared and the in game screen is flickering badly. Should I change any of tyhe Direct3D setting on my TNT card properties? Or should I use the ASUS drivers instead of the NVIDEA?

have you got the 5.22 drivers? and have you removed the 3.68 nvOpenGL.dll? Sudesh Karl Zosel wrote:

I have exactly the same problem (words missing in menus and then tearing of the screen in play) that is fixed by enabling V-sync in D3D. I have spectra 2500 (TNT), and now get fantastic frame rates, with mirrors (>30) - lap times are dropping in big chunks "Karl Zosel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:sX955.22429$[email hidden]...

V-sync option is in the general Display Properties accessed from your desktop - dig through : settings-advanced-riva TNT -additional properties-Direct 3D Settings-More D3D- then ensure that the disable vertical sync box is UNchecked. This is distinct from opengl Vsync setting, which works well disabled. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has for certain got Vsync disabled in D3D and TNT with no visible tearing.
