Hello All,
Ok, here is the deal. When I try to play 3D computer games I get missing parts of the picture. For example, a 3d spinning car will have tires but no car body. In 3Dmark 2001 you can see the truck driving at the begining but the yellow boarder and frames per second counter is missing from the picture, and when the truck fires its missle at the spaceship you cant see the fire or explosion on the spaceship. I have fdisked and formated my HD and done a fresh install of Win98se with all the latest drivers for my Motherboard, video card, sound card, direct x 8.1 and so on.
My system is: Tbird 1.33, GeForce3, SB Live, Gigabyte KT266a chipset.
Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated
Thanks Barry

have you ever got it to work right? if so when? what have you done since then? Since your running an older OS 98, you may have to try running older drivers. Are the games you are trying to run compatible with 98? Try different games? Older games and new games, ect... try to restore your PC back to the way it first was (Hardware/Software) if it worked before.
Need more info to help more.
