Hey...

I have a 12mb Creative Labs 3D Blaster Voodoo2 and it works great on
Quake, Forsaken, G-Police, and all others I've tried so far, EXCEPT
Flight 2.

Here's what happens...

When I open it up, the screen switches to black, I hear it start to
load (the hard drive crunches, etc..), I get an hourglass on a black
screen (in a lower res than I was in), then I hear a "dink" (windows
default error .wav), and then I have to hit ENTER or ESC before it
will let me back into windows.  It seems like a dialog comes up that I
can't see.  I wish I knew what it said, if anything.  

I've tried all the recommended troubleshoots in the manual.  defrag,
scandisk, reinstalled, get newest drivers.. Done it all, to no avail.

Anyway, I can't play my new game and I'm annoyed.  I'll call Looking
Glass and Co. tomorrow (3/16) and ask them..  

Has anyone had this problem?  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Jud

You bet! - see my earlier posting re. Flight Unlimited 2 - I have the
identical problem - I reinstalled 5 times - most other games work except
Turok, Falcon 4.0 to date in 3dfx mode - I am seriously pissed off with
repeatedly returning games to the store! - By the way your description of
the problem could not be more accurate - that's great because it proves I
was not making some stupid error!
