2. Uninstall previously installed voodoo3,4,5 drivers from the device manager. Windows XP users should tick View - show hidden devices before doing so.

3. Search for files that have the phrase, 3dfxvs in the file in windows/inf and delete them. Only delete files starting with 3dfxvs or oem.

4. Windows XP users should search for old drivers in windows/system/dllcache and delete files 3dfxvs.dll, 3dfxvsm.sys, 3dfxogl.dll, glide2x.dll, glide3x.dll if any exist. To see this folder you must tick show hidden files and folders and untick hide protected operating system files from the file explorer's Tools - Folder Options - View.

5. Install the Voodoo3,4,5 driver manually from the display properties Settings - Advanced - Adapter - Properties. You may also install them when you get prompted for drivers.

Note: You probably should not be installing this driver if you do not know what you are doing.
