So this problem has been annoying me for a bit and I can't seem to find the cause of this.
Ive been running Metal Gear Solid on my 1Ghz machine which a dual boot of Win98SE/Win2k (latest service pack) and while in Win98SE the game runs and looks fine, Windows 2000 is entirely different.
on Windows 2000 the game is nearly unplayable due to horrendous graphical glitches (usually the 2D icons and text for instance). I know the game runs fine on Win2k because Ive ran it before with a Geforce2 and it was fine.
The reason why I want to run it on 2000 is primarly because on this machine, I would prefer to run as many games as possible on that one OS for the obvious benefits it has.
running the game in software mode does solve the issue, but obviously it looks terrible at that point
the computer in question has these specs
Tyan Trinity 400 motherboard (with a VIA chipset)
1GHz Pentium III 133Mhz
512Mb of SDRAM
Voodoo 5500 AGP
SB Live 5.1
the 3DFX drivers are the latest official drivers for both operating systems. Ive tried setting the card to single chip mode , and it made no difference. Im also using DX8.1
some pics of the glitches
Anyone got any ideas? thanks in advance.
