Well.. maybe someone here can tellme a possible problem with my sistem...
I'm running Win XP SP1 and a V5 5500.... I'm using AmigaMerlin 3... and DirectX 9.0b... I tried too with DirectX 8.1...
All my glide and OpenGl games works relly cool!!... but my D3D games doesn't work.. Maybe this weekend I back to win98 se.... but.. maybe this forum can be my last hope.. because here r all the developers of the drivers...
When I ran a D3D game.. my pc crash... some horizontal lines shows.. and my pc restar after some minutes.... the message that I get when my pc starts again is that the 3dfxvs.dll file cause the problem...
I tried 3 different drivers... first 3dhq 1.09 beta 4 drivers for xp (this was the only 3dhq drivers that works with glide and opengl)... after this drivers.. I install AM2.5 for XP my problem continues... and I wait for AM3... when this last drivers was release I install it... I clean my registry.. clen my system of 3dfx files.... god... I was working on this cleaning aroun 1 hour.. because I search an eliminate all the drivers an registry keys...
But nothing works... the last time that I reinstall the drivers I saw that win xp change my 3dfxvs.dll and 3dfxvsm files for other differents that comes with AM package... anyway.. I overwrite this drivers in safe mode.. and restart.... I think that this could be my problem.. but don't... I still with problems... I can't run any D3D application...
some idea???.... [:(].. I post this problem in the VoodooFiles forum.. and the tip was that I format my pc.. and reinstall all again... but.. hehe... I think that maybe other solution is possible.... [^]
Thnx for all....

can you run the direct3d test in directx diagnosis? (start --> run --> "dxdiag", then to the display tab and press the "test direct3d" button).
all three drivers you tried work for me, under win2k. and they work for most people under winxp too.
perhaps you should do try to uninstall your drivers, remove all files with 3dfx in it, al files with glide in it, and remove all registery keys with 3dfx in it.
I can't do the D3D Test, I saw the same lines
About uninstall drivers, delete files, clean registry, etc.. etc.. etc.... I tried it millions of times and doesn't works... every time that I reinstall drivers I do that... I login in safe mode... delet all the files, clean registry.. and after reboot I install the 3rdparty drivers.... and I still with problems...

and you have no problems in opengl/glide? at all? hmmmz, i guess i'm out of ideas, except formatting... :/ anyone else?
Hi all :)
unknownusermx, welcome.
Try these following:
- Remove Via chip-set drivers and Voodoo driver and reboot the system.
- Download VIA Hyperion 4.49 package for motherboard chip-set optimal configuration (you can grab it here http://www.hwsetup.it/ clicking on mainboard link at left of page and then on VIA link)
- Update the bios of your motherboard with the latest no beta revision.
- Now please go in system bios and turn on disable all components that you do not use like usb or com or lpt ports.
- Verify that AGP slot do not share IRQ with other devices.
- Now install Via Hyperion and reboot.
- Now re-install DirectX9b reboot.
- Finally install AM 3.0 XP following the steps as in the readme file.
Let us know...
Bye bye
Thnx for the wellcome Glide... and for ur suggestion..
I tried it... I downloaded the lastes version from my bios.. y chk the settings... installed Via Hyperion... reinstall dx9 and the AM drivers.... and.. the result was the next..
- My D3D problem continues.. I now see lines greens and whites...
[:(]
- Glide and OpenGl doesn't work!!!.... My pc crash too.... purple and white lines shows in the screen...uhm...[:0]
About glide and opengl... I resolve this problem in a couple of minutes...and... for D3D..I think that defitnetly I'll back to win98... I really wanna play GTA3 and FIFA 2003... well I have Metal Gear Solid, MechWarrior 4 and NFS4 Porsche too... jeje... I love games...
Thnx for the tips... if someone have other solution for try.. this will be welcome!!..:D
Saludos ;)

Try the standard WindowsXP drivers for the Voodoo 5.
They might lack in performance but you can be sure they work correct under WindowsXP.
If you still have problems then I think you've got a hardware problem.

using the default drivers.. D3D works fine.. but the problem is that this drivers doesn't suppor OpenGl... and I have a lot of opengl/glide games too...
Thnx for the replys.. =)

rename the driver.cab file in the i386 folder and reboot, then reinstall yer drivers. this keeps winblows from walking all over yer newer drivers.
Bloody Mess
uhm... doesn't work... uhm.... anyway.. thnx to qrazi, glide, phalanx and bloodworm for the help... I'll format my pc this saturday... and I'll go to install win98SE... i guess that the best and lastest drivers for this card are AM2.9.. right??...
Well... if someone else have mor suggestions plz post here... this could work for any other user with the same problem...
thnx to all the team!!... I'll be around here.. helping in all that I can...

sorry, mate, but I really think you've got a bad card. can you try it in another computer? was it working previously? just a couple questions we haven't covered yet
EDIT: Stupid questions that I can't remeber if were answered at VF: do you have the BIOS set up correctly, with fast writes off and agp 1x/2x?
well.... ap_man... nice to see u around here... and well.. yep... My card was working previosly..... I can't understand.. why this card works perfectly in glide and open gl.. but in D3D don't.. =(.... and... ur questions..
Yep.. Fastwrite is off and I set my mobo settings to 2x... any way... I look around for a PC with an AGP Slot.. the most of my friends have pcchips mobos... je... sucks!!... any way... thnx guys.. =)

unknownusermx - go into your 3dfx-AA and change the direct3d FSAA to 'single chip only' then run your Direct 3d benches/games - let us know what happens
[8D]
**Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.**
ah, I never even though of that, nor did anyone else. Isn't there a way to try each individual chip in one driver version? i think I remember a "Second Chip Only" in some driver version I used, but it isn't AM 2.9.
I'm gona try this tonigth..... and... by the way... I'm using the 3dfx official drivers ver. 1.04.00 for 9x....
The bios from my card could be a problem???...

that might indicate that one of your vsa100 chips is damaged....
sugar man you need to delte the 3dfx reg setting and reload diffrent drivers
try Omega 02 set

but.. only for D3D apps???... because in opengl I tried 2x and 4x in some games and works without problems...[B)]

I install Omegadrivers 1.02 SPECIAL.... D3D works good at 2x FSAA... I'm go to try it with GTA3....
I don't understand what the hell is happening... with all the other drivers d3d doesn't work... but this.. runs well.... at this point.. the glide part is no tried... I'm gonna chk it after.... firs my D3D games... thnx!
Any body can explain to me what's happening??.. plz.... I'm really confused with all this...
Saludos [^]
whit omega drivers... glide doesn't work..... [xx(]
Then keep the Omega's and replace the Glide files with Koolsmoky's latestbuild...
You have been having exactly the same problem as me my friend!
Windows XP Professional - Clean Install - DX9.0b loaded - AmigaMerlin installed exactly as per instructions - Glide runs great - OpenGL runs great - Direct3D hangs the machine.
Other forums are posting simialr problems with this driver - I use an Intel Mobo so not VIA chipset but of course I believe I may well switch back to Windows 2000 and just use the 3dfx driver as the alternative of "Use Koolsmokey's Glide, FreezeMonkeys OpenGL and Megadeaths D3D drivers except for Blah Game where you will need to run Cyberpunks wrapper or Doh Game where you will need to run x-3d's Glide mega zoom driver...." is just too much of a pain.....
It's freaky.... and... I still without understand what's happening..
When I install XP the first time (when this OS was released) I used Voodoo Alpha drivers for XP and D3D works really good... after i used 3dfxunderground/3dhq drivers... and D3D works only for some days...
anyway... the last time that I made a clean install from WinXP my first 3drparty drivers was AmigaMerlin 3.0... I guess that d3d has to work good, but isn't... and I formated my pc again and install win98se... I had the hope that d3d works good but isn't!!!... I use the original 3dfx drivers... and tried too with am2.9.... and d3d still without work...
when I install omegadrivers 1.02 d3d works without problems... and... I was confused... any way.. I was looking for some omegadrivers for XP but doesn´t exist, only for 2k... I was wondering reinstall XP, because is more friendly for the other users in my home and doesn't hang up too many times like win98...
The point is that d3d works on XP only when I use Single Chip on the D3D FSAA setting... in other way doesn't work.... some people in this forum and in VF forum said to me that my V5 had a VSA chip damage... ok... it's possible... but why with omega drivers I can use FSAA 2x and 4x without problems??... maybe this drivers have a kind of "special" setting.. or maybe could be a setting in my D3D part... I don't know....
If somebody can explain to me why this happend, I'll appreciate it...
Ywep I foubd ou that Single Chip mode in D3D only works fine - this actually isnt single chip though so I think the problem is in the drivers for Fastest - I on't think it actaully is running single chip as 3dmark2001 score for me is over 2000 - I think this score is ballpark for V5 - if it was only running single chip wold expect the score to be lower.
Solution? - Set D3D in tools to Single Chip.
Amiga - If you are reading this any thoughts?
Hola [:p]
Ok... I install Win XP again and install AM 3.0... When I put the D3D FSAA Setting to Faster Performance (something like that... in this moment I'm not on my PC)and I do any test my screen looks up and show a lot of lines...and is needed restar the PC [:(!] but If I change to 2x or 4x FSAA I can see the image (Direct X Cube or the animation in Wizmark), but when the test is finished my PC froze and a few seconds after (30 to 50) I get a error message....[V]
any way... I want to know why with omega drivers under win 98 D3D works good, even in 4x mode....[B)]
what 3dfx tools are you running to set up 2x and 4x? It sounds like you're getting all of your 3dfx toolsets mixed up and that is the real problem....
Bloodworm,
I don't remember the Tools ver., but they come with the full package of AM 3.0 XP...[}:)]
What u mean when u say mixed toolset??... If I undestand well, ur saying that maybe all my other tools version is mixed with this new?, or is other thing???...
I was thinking something about Omegadrivers, when I was using this in Win 98SE and I star a D3D game I get my screen with a blue color, I see all good but with more blue in the colors. So, it´s possible that Omega made this drivers using a kind of wrapper from D3D to Glide/opengl, because this color I was only geting in Glide/OpenGl games... This could be possible??... any developer that could explain it... thnx...[B)]
- Did you try your Voodoo 5 on an other PC ?
- In your bios :
* Can you look your Agp Aperture Size ?
* Verify also that Video BIOS Cache and Video BIOS Shadow are disabled
- What's your power supply (watts)?

Nightbird,
thnx for reply.. I'll answere ur questions:
AGP Aperture Size -- I change it to 32mb
Video BIOS cache and Shadow are both disable
The p/s from my PC is 350 Watts in a ATX tower, working at 115 v.
saludos [B)]
and did you or can you try your V5 in an other pc ?
also, have you tried reseating your video card? It sounds more like a power problem to me if it is working "sometimes". your fans may be slowing down or dirty as well.
mmm.. in other PC... thiw will be impossible at the moment... a few weeks ago I tried it, but the PC doesn't support the video card... I need to found another PC with AGP 2.0 compilant port....
And... I'll go to change the Fans from my v5... and I let u know when I have some comments...
Saludos [B)]
Hola a Todos! [:p]
FeLiZ nAvIdAd y PrOsPeRo AñO nUeVo :D
We'll.... at this moment is impossible change the FAN's from my GPU's... any way.... Right now I'm having problems with Glide and OpenGl, I use the best settings for AM 3 published on 3dfxzone site and my games (well... the only 2 that i tried at this point) works slowly, this games are Quake 3 Arena and NFS 5 Porsche unleashed. I reset the settings to factory defaul and my games doesn't ran... by the way.. I'm using MesaFX 0.51d (only the glide3x.dll)
Thnx.... Q sE lA pAsEn RiCo [B)]
My V5 is dead now [xx(]
OpenGl only works in single chip mode now.... I can't use FSAA in D3D and in OpenGl either....
Mmmm....[:(]
well your voodoo5 is like a voodoo4 now... tough luck...
not completly... at this point... i reload drivers and don't made any change on the settings and OpenGl/Glide works in SLI mode... but D3D only works in Single Chip... anyway.... I prefer my GL games...
try an agP aperture size of 64Mb or greater (even though it doesn't do anything for the V5). I had problems with some things when I tried to set mine lower than 64Mb. I think this is a directx problem.
