Title: Voodoo problem or...?
Post by: Elly on 20 September 2003, 00:00:29

Hello.

I hope you can help me.
I installed Voodoo2 (FastVoodoo) driver on XP Pro System (I downloaded this driver from https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/voodoo2/downloads/fv2_3.0_xp.htm). When I try to run a game (Need for Speed - Porsche Unleashed) I get message:
"3D graphics could not be initialized".

I had Windows 98 SE and everything worked fine on this system. I also run this game (NFS5) in compatibility mode for Windows 98.

There is another problem. When I click 3dfx Voodoo2-1000 tab in Display Properties->Settings->Advanced it's OK but if I do that again I get message: "Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close..."

So, is it something wrong with this driver? Or with me? :)

P.S. I have DirectX 9b.

;)

Hi Elly,

welcome in this board :)

Try to unistall the drivers of primary card (which?) and FV2 3.0 then repeat install of these (before primay card and then Voodoo2)

This game requires a Direct3D support for running: at this moment Voodoo2 is not compatible with D3D applications and Windows XP/2K. So if you want to play D3D games with V2 have to use Win9X/ME family OS.

Hope helping you ;)

Just let me know.

Bye bye

Thank you Glide!

Well, if Voodoo2 is not compatible with Windows XP (and I assured that it is not compatible with Windows 2000) then I need new card.

Thank you again.

Bye

Please note that Voodoo2 is compatiblle with OpenGL/GLide games in Windows XP. Only Direct3D is for now unsupported...

You could get a new primary card for D3D and OGL and hold V2 for OGL and GLide...;)

Bye bye

You too.
I'll find something else to play with (which does not require cards or something like that) ;)

Ciao!
