Hi, you have a very old card the asus v3000ZX uses the riva 128 chip and this card can not run gpl fast enough even if it works with the beta opengl driver which you can get at www.papy.com if you bought this card not long ago try to exchange it for a Voodoo 2 or a voodoo 3 Greetings from Uranus, Jarno

That's because you don't have a 3D card...that GPL supports. It must be Glide (3dfx) or Rendition compatible. It should list the requirements on the box and in the manual if you need details as to what will work. Marc.

I had the same problem with my SBLive card, try re-installing the software/drivers for the card. then re-install the game and choose 3DFX install as opposed to rendition. That seemed to do the trick for me. Although I gotta say as far as GPL goes I found that the rendition mode was slightly better than the 3DFX mode IMHO.
