I'm having major problems with CMR and glitches, crashes and sloooow
menus.

I believe the menu problem is a known bug with Matrox drivers.  I'm
using v.4.12 on Win98, which AFAIK is the latest available.  Someone
suggested turning down the Graphics performance slider down a couple of
notches - but this just results in being booted back to the desktop when
I try to get beyond the first menu.  The odd thing is that very
occasionally the menu's work OK for a while, but generally there can be
anything up to a 1 minute lag(!) between input and response on the menu
- and sometimes no response whatsoever.

And that's not all - If I do manage to get into the game itself, after
between 5 and 15 minutes, the graphics get garbled - all the polygons
are still there, but no textures - making driving a bit difficult...  I
get the same problem in TOCA2, another DirectX game.  Yes, I know it
sounds like overheating - but I've got a 3" fan blowing directly onto my
Voodoo, and this sits in a very large tower case with 3 extra fans.
However, the problem does seem worse at 800x600 than 640, so who
knows...  _But_ Glide/OpenGL games such as Half-Life, Quake & Unreal all
run fine - I can run the Q2 Massive demo for hours without a hitch.

As you can tell, I'm flummoxed.  Any help greatly appreciated.

My system:

AMDK6-2 350 on VIA MVP3 Mobo
Generic Voodoo2 (12Mb)
Matrox Mystique 170 (4Mb)

TIA
