N3 Screen Flicker

I have just upgraded my system with a new sound card , modem and updated logitec mouse drivers and have since had a problem with both N3 & Legends. When you move the mouse the screen flickers badly and the pointer leaves mouse tracks. The screen also flashes on the screen just befor you enter the game on pit road. This happens when not moveing the mouse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System Info ASUS P5A MoBo K6-2 450 128 Meg VooDoo3 2000 AGP Sound Blaster Live MP3+ (new) Modem Blaster DI5630 (new) Logitech Marble-FX Driver Ver 8.62 (just upgraded) Thanx D Boivin

You problem is that you have triple buffer "on" on your 3dfx card properties. Uncheck it and you will not have these problems. I just found out myself. IF you need to know where to fix this, right click on desktop screen and slide down to propties and look at 3dfx screen for triple buffer box. PassedYa

As a fellow victim of video ficker in N3 I was very interested in your answer. I have a Voodoo 3 2000 and have downloaded drivers dated Jan 25, 2000. I am puzzled. I click on 3dfx teaks and see that the "Selection" radio button is set to "Desktop" and that the "Force Triple Buffering" is greyed out. If I select another radio button the "Force Triple Buffering" is alive. However, if I leave the selection at "Direct 3D: or "Glide/OpenGL" or Video Overlay" and exit when I return the selection is still "Desktop". My question is - should I be selecting "Direct 3D: or "Glide/OpenGL" or Video Overlay"? And - how do I get the selection to persist? Thanks for any help you can give me. Bob

The word "desktop" is alphabetically before "Direct" and "Glide" therefore it will ALWAYS be the first tab shown. Don't worry, it's normal. Select Glide and it will persist. Don't worry. Again, "direct" is alphabetically before "glide" so the dropdown list will show it each time you return to that tab. Gunner
