I am having problems with Descent 3 and Windows XP SP2.  The graphics are 
really messed up, rendering the config menus unreadable and the target 
reticle has a texture block beneath it.  I have tried installing/running the 
game in compatibility mode for Win98 (the last OS that ran the game well), 
tried different 3D rending modes, anitvirus on/off (Norton Antivirus 
2006),and updating D3...all without success.

I really like D3, but I am afraid I am going to have to quit trying as it is 
just frustrating.

I would appreciate any hint/suggestions so I can play this great game.
