Glenn and other TNT owners, I finally got Diamond's European support to send me the older driver and it does work well for me. I suggested that this was a serious bug for the Java3d communitity and would be in Diamond's best interest to get fixed ASAP, but the response was that it needs to be fixed in the nVidia reference drivers and therefore not their job. Anyone contacted nVidia about this yet?

Hi You will have noticed that I and several others have been having problems with running Java3D on cards that use the nVidia Riva TNT chip, in my particular case the Diamond Viper 550 under Windows 95. I am pleased to say that I have managed to solve the problems by using an *older* version of Diamond's drivers! The drivers I am now using are 4.10.01.0220, filename 550220.exe, which I obtained from Diamond's European web site. If people have trouble finding them, let me know and I'll pass them on. There are still a few inconsistencies, e.g. the presence of a background image seems to stop hardware acceleration; hopefully this will be addressed in a future release of Java3D. I have contacted Diamond support (who have been quite helpful) with this information - hopefully they'll fix the problems for the next driver release! Thanks to everyone who replied, especially Don Scales who gave me the idea to try using older drivers.
