Hey, it may have NOTHING to do with it, but, I had a problem when running F4
in 1024x768 too (although I have the Diamond Monster Voodoo2). The pixels
flickered (light blue) and I also got extremely thin black lines flashing
across the screen.

Emails to Diamond & ATI produced nothing useful so I decided to delve
further. I noticed in Display Properties that the Refresh Rate was set to
85MHz and so lowered it to 75MHz. When I went back into the sim, all was
well.

Hope this helps.
