I installed the new direct x 6.1 off of the MS Update web site and it
totally messed up Heretic 2.  I kept getting re_gl.dll errors.  I tried
everything, patched the RIVA to the latest TNT and still got the crash.
Then I tried the Voodoo 2 and got the same error although the voodoo 2
drivers I use are the witchdoctor ones because I think that's what you are
stuck with if you have a Canopus TNT.

The only way I fixed my system was to download the dirextx6core.exe from the
net to overwrite my direct x 6.1 install.  Now things are back to normal and
I will not add directx6.1 until a killer app makes me.  By the way, Turok 2
is not a killer app.  Duke forever may be.
