I'm not so sure that it is net related eye. Recently, I upgraded my Voodoo 3 3000 to a Riva TNT2 Ultra(CL) and with it dumps to desktops started happening! Every now and then for no reason, Aces High will just plain quit! Like I hit alt F4 or something! Never happened before, period, with the V3. I've also started to disco occasionally also, that is ending up at the 'Choose Arena' screen. I haven't tried the latest drivers for the card, using the drivers that came with it. But, I'm not so sure the latest drivers for the card are gonna make any difference. I am using the latest version of DX.
Strange the changing vid cards caused me the dreaded 'Desktop Dump'!
