From SciTech Software:
SciTech GLDirect is a utility package for Windows 95/98 that allows OpenGL-based games and applications to access 3D hardware acceleration using the Microsoft Direct3D 6.x drivers provided by your graphics hardware manufacturer. Many PC graphics cards only come with drivers for Microsoft Direct3D, Microsoft's 3D interface. OpenGL is a cross-platform, high-performance standard for 3D graphics applications. Since developing OpenGL drivers can be considerably more complex than developing Direct3D drivers, many graphics hardware vendors have not released quality OpenGL 1.2 drivers for their hardware in a timely manner.
This is where SciTech GLDirect comes in: SciTech GLDirect enables OpenGL applications to use Direct3D drivers for 3D hardware acceleration. By combining the power of OpenGL with the wide availability of Direct3D hardware drivers, SciTech GLDirect enables OpenGL-compliant applications and games to run on Direct3D-compatible hardware in the Windows 9.x operating systems. This is a 21-day trial with all functions enabled. Version 1.01 includes an improved registration system.

"Caused Programs to Fail"
Version: SciTech GLDirect 1.01
Pros
It slightly improved my graphics on certain games.
Cons
It caused various online games to cease working, as well as some older OpenGL games such as Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. The games were reduced to white screens with audio playing. When I uninstalled SciTech GLDirect, all of the games worked.
Summary
Any application that causes another program to cease operation is not the kind of program for me. I recommend that anyone who has older OpenGL games stay far away from this product. Keep an eye out for odd behavior in your games if you do download this, for this program is likely the culprit.
