Which drivers are you using for the STB video card?  Nvidia has Open GL beta
drivers that are supposed to work well with Win 98.  The STB drivers and the
drivers that come with the Win 98 upgrade don't work very well.  The drivers
can be found at the following locations:

info)

best)


There is also a #Dfx patch for quake II, it can be found at :
http://www.3dfx.com/software/patch_quake2.html   This might fix your problem
to, at least for Quake II.

Hope this helps,
