My Diamond Monster 3D II now works both in Win 98 SE and in Win XP. I have only tried the 3dfx demos yet but they work perfectly. I had 3 problems before though. I could install the FastVoodoo drivers without problems (except in XP) and there was no conflict shown in the device manager but still I had serious problems. Here is what I did to solve them:
"Voodoo^2 not found" when I started any 3dfx application: I changed in the BIOS the "Graphics Aperture Size" from 256 MB to 128 MB.
My system often didn't boot up, the monitor kept black: I changed in the BIOS the value of "Primary VGA Bios" from "AGP VGA Card" to "PCI VGA Card". I haven't encountered a boot-up problem since that.
"Conflicting .inf and .ini files" when I wanted to install FastVoodoo XP 4.0 (However, I managed to get other drivers to work in XP): This problem was also fixed by changing the two settings in the BIOS I mention above.
I hope I can help people who encounter one of these problems.
