------------------------ VoodooXP Special Edition (without 3dfx Tools) ------------------------ 3dfx Underground, clearly, then, does NOT recommend that you use this release of the VoodooXP drivers with 3dfx Tools of another driver kit; doing so most likely will cause errors and decrease stability and performance. Nor do we recommend installing these drivers "on top of" an existing 3dfx Tools or 3dfx display drivers installation! This will result in very counterproductive occurrences that will only harm your 3dfx experience. If you wish to use 3dfx Tools, download the latest full version of the VoodooXP The only recommended driver control panel utility for use with this release is V.Control, available for download in the utilities section of the 3dfx Underground site. --------------------------------------------------- VoodooXP Series Windows(r) XP Driver Kit (NO TOOLS) --------------------------------------------------- VoodooXP Series(tm) Driver kit: 1.00.06-SE Voodoo Series Win2k(r) Display Driver and Miniport: 5.00.2195.232 Glide(tm) 2.X Driver: 3.20.0.1006 Glide 3.X Driver: 3.20.0.1006 OpenGL(r) Driver Version: 1.0.0.0761 ICD NOTE: All original content in this driver kit including any modified files whose originals were not written by 3dfx may not be copied or used with other kits without prior written consent of 3dfx Underground.

The DirectDraw portion of the drivers supports Direct3D when using DirectX 8.1 ======================================================================= Installation ======================================================================= Requirements ------------ - Windows XP - PC with an Intel Pentium or AMD K6-2 or higher CPU - 16MB of RAM Installing ---------- 1) Remove all previous 3dfx drivers and 3dfx Tools installations, and delete all 3dfx registry information. 2) Reboot. 3) Run Driver Setup.exe, then reboot when prompted. ======================================================================= Troubleshooting Techniques ======================================================================= Problem: -------- There are still OpenGL problems! Explanation: ------------ Windows XP sometimes forces its own opengl32.dll OpenGL-to-D3D wrapper file to be used, which renders OpenGL useless in such situations. Solution: --------- In a separate operating system or in DOS mode acheived from a bootable diskette, replace the opengl32.dll file in the Windows\System32 directory with the 3dfxOGL.dll file included in this kit, and then rename the 3dfxOGL.dll file you just copied into the directory to opengl32.dll.
