you dont need dx9 on such an old pc.currently,there are few drivers that support dx8 and dx9 (partialy):

Raziel's Evolution driver for voodoo4/5 and win9x/me

SFFT driver for voodoo3/4/5 and win2000/xp

SFFT: http://www.3dfxzone.it/monitor/am/go.asp?url=88
Evolution: http://www.falconfly.de/vsa100.htm (look for Raziel64 Evolution Driver
Expert Edition V1.01.16 Lite)

once again,there is no need to have a dx8/9 compatible driver on a p2 233 with an unknown voodoo card (probably voodoo1/2/3,and certailny not voodoo4/5).

I tried them all but I still get the message that the adaptor doesn't support direct x9 (I need the support for one of my daughters game).
Are there other drivers to try?
Thanks,
Bendi
