I am just wondering if anyone has found any drivers or a way to install the Windows 98 Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 USB speakers software?? I really miss having that fancy blue volume control with all of the preset EQ's and easy adjustments of bass or whatever. I am not very pleased with the driver that Windows 2000 comes with for default. It has none of that fancy configurable stuff. Anyone having the same feelings as me? I am doubting that Microsoft is even going to release a Windows 2000 driver with all that fancy stuff. Kris Venden mpt45@hotmail.com --- Please email me if you have any ideas. Thanks

I followed the exact steps on this webpage to get Need For Speed High Stakes to work in Windows 2000. After much turmoil, I finally got it to work. However, in 3dsetup.exe, the only option I have is Software Mode. No Voodoo3 option at all. And I saw on an earlier post, a guy had the same problem with his Riva Tnt. NBA Live 2000 also made by EA works great in Windows 2000 and it shows the Voodoo3 driver in its 3dsetup.exe so I think there must be a way to get Glide or D3D in NFS4. Anyone have any ideas? Please email me if you do. Thanks alot! Software mode just isn't the same game, reminds me of the playstation! ------------------ Kris Venden

Well, you all would be glad to know that last night I came up with a solution. The 3dsetup.exe in the setup dir on NBA Live 2000 also made by EA, loads to a .ini file whereas the one in NFS4 loads to a .dat file. I backed up the 3dsetup dir on NFS4 and then deleted it and put the one from NBA Live 2000 in there and then edited the .ini file so that its name and registry location was the same as in the .dat file in the old NFS4 dir. Then I ran the 3dsetup.exe and as it does for NBA Live 2000, it detected my V3. I thought just for fun that I'd see what happened and to my amazement, the game works AWESOME. Runs incredibly fast with Glide or D3D, whichever its using.. but it is amazing! No more software mode.. So just thought someone might want to know that if they are having the same problem, I might put together a Zip file of the contents for those who want it. ------------------ Kris Venden

I dont even have NFS3 installed. What good is it going to do to update NFS3? Will that do something to NFS4? Please explain a bit further.. Thanks ------------------ Kris Venden
