I have a SB Riva TNT video card and installed nascar3 to run
in glide/3dfx mode but i get a screenGetmode Failed Messege
and the game does not start.
any ideas?
Thanks

The TNT doesn't do Glide.

With a TNT you'll need to run the game in D3D, not Glide.

Thanks, I reinstalled in direct 3d mode the game starts and i do all the
configuring but when i go to race i pull out of the pits and the computer
freezes
with the sound still running and i have to turn the machine off

not N3 (I would kill to have Unified work in GPL, hehe)

the CL drivers dated 9/27/99 with Direct X 7.0 on a K6-2, FIC mobo. I
have no problems, you may want to try that combo or even the new NVIDIA
reference drivers, 3.53? I haven't tried them yet.

You need a 3dfx card to run in 3dfx/Glide mode. You need to run the 'other'
3d mode with that card.
