Mr. Wentworth,

I have an NEC P II 333 with 64Mb SDRAM and a Diamond Monster Voodoo 2 with 12 Mb
of RAM.  I do notice that the chess pieces disappear temporarily when I adjust
the board in 3D.  I really don't think that the Voodoo 2 is at fault. You don't
even use the board unless you have a program written for 3DFX acceleration.  As
you know it is your other 2D/3D board that may have a driver conflict with Fritz
4.01 since that is the video board being used for your chess program.

You could experiment with some of the settings on the Voodoo 2 board and your
other board in the Display Properties on your Win95 computer.  Please be
careful.
