Yes I did , I think it comes from directix 9 , I installed the latested 3dfx drivers that I found.
Is a very old Monster, one of the first ones.

Since it's a known, problematic combination, this Thread may help you.

In short, Voodoo1 and Voodoo2 sometimes exhibit this Problem when coupled to a Radeon 9x00 series Card. Solutions so far seem to work fine, however, so it's solvable :)

..little hint: voodoo1+anything that is newer than p3 or K6=paaaaaaaain.radeons really dont have anything to do with the hardware compatibility (as far as Im aware),the desktop corruptions are easily solvable by using the correct version of glide drivers (check the link from Falconfly).

use voodoo2 if you really must have hardware glide support,those run much better in newer pcs..
