I had the same problem, but under different circumstances, i has a voodoo
banshee and then took it out and used a voodoo 1 R3d card.

I would just lock the computer on all glide games, the problem was that the
directx drivers were for the old banshee card .

i had to do a fresh install of win98 which cured it!

system is     350 AMD
                      gigabyte GA-5X
                       64 mb RAM


maybe this will work??
