Greetings,

I've just replaced my Millennium II PCI / Voodoo I combo with the Creative
Labs Riva TNT AGP card, and I don't feel like I've traded up.  While it's
nice to see my favorite games in higher resolutions, most of them show some
bizzare behavior.  In Forsaken, some of the graphics are misplaced (tanks
appearing as covered turrets, covered turrets appearing as subway cars, etc).
In G-Police, the game plays well, but the letters in the menus are
surrounded by a chunky black border.

The real show-stopper is the pathetic 2D performance.  Subspace is unplayable.
If there's any action on the sceen, framerates drop to 2-4 fps.  In the
Windows Explorer (tm), I can see the directories slowly appear and disappear
when I expand and collapse the treeview (on the other hand, dragging windows
around is as fast as ever).

I've heard enough people rave about both the 3D and 2D performance of this
card that I must believe that you're not all nuts.  There must be something
wrong in my setup.  The boring details appear below.

If anyone has seen similar symptoms, or has any suggestions,
please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Brian Baker.
