Title: V2 not using any resources
Post by: iets on 21 August 2006, 18:56:13
I've recently installed my old V2 12MB in a PIII with BX440 mobo. But i cannot get it to work properly.
I've installed the FV2 XP 4GE as instructed ans i got the memory error. So I installed the patch but that didn't help at all. :(

I tried a lot of different drivers and put the V2 in another PCI slot but that didn't help either.

In the device manager under 'status' it says the device is functioning correctly. But under resources it says the device does not use any resouces because it is not fuctioning correctly... :S

Someone plz help, i cannot game with a ati rage pro 8MB :(. Need voodoo powers.>!

uninstall all your voodoo2 drivers (add or remove programs in your control panel) and install koolsmoky's voodoo2 driver (go here (http://helppage.3dfx.sk/#SLIdrivers) to get it) via "update driver" in your device manager.see if that helps.

what games have you tried so far?

The driver didn't change anything. I've tried sega GT, Delta (psx emulator) and V2 demos that came with the fastvoodoo driver.

A conflict in the resources ?
Do you have any IRQ shared by many devices (like a Nic) ?

Please try installing Voodoo2 in another system: card could be broken...also if it's displayed in Device Manager.

There is no other system where I can try the V2 in currently. Maybe in a few days i can.

voodoo2 does not need an irq,so conflicting irqs cannot be the problem.
