HELP - IMAGE PROBLEMS

[Fernando Azeredo Pontes]

This is a mail that i sent to creative tech support refering a image problem
i'm having with glide racing games, they don't seem to have a solution for
my problem so any help from you would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

That didn't solved my problem, it remains the same.
I must say I found your advice strange, I tought that when the voodoo2 was
in use the vga adapter would not have anything to do with it, in contrast
with what happens when it's the vga adapter that is in use and the signal
must pass by the voodoo 2. Also, if the problem was with the refresh rate
should not it occur with direct3d as well when i use voodoo2directx driver?
I惴 using the same refresh settings for both glide and direct3d, so....
Could it be that the board (voodoo2) is defective? I don愒 think so since in
direct 3d the problem does not appear to occur, but i tryed just about
everything...
Maybe it is a glide driver problem? Or the games are not completly
compatible with voodoo2 (but motorhead is very recent)?
Or maybe this is a normal thing with racing games?
Any other suggestions are welcome.

Best regards,
Fernando Azeredo Pontes

Hi,
This is down to the fact that the graphics card is not refreshing the
screen as often as the voodoo 2 card. I would recommend setting the
refresh rate in the Voodoo 2 Control to match the settings of your VGA card
(usually 60 htz) which should resolve the issue. Ensure also you have the
correct driver specified for your monitor in the Device Manager.

Best regards,
John.
