W2Kchaos

Ok, I have a clean install of W2k with service pack 2 and directX 8. I have installed that app compatibility pack and have the following problems: 1. NFS3 installed fine but I can only run at 800X600. This is using a Voodoo 3500. 2. NFS4 cannot seem to complete the install. It asks if I want a shortcut placed on the desktop and after answering, the install stops at the black screen. Windows does not lock, but the black screen will not go away and the install will not complete. 3. Half-life- I installed this and upated to 1.0.0.6 running from a back-up CD. During the intro-movie the game craps out and send me back to the desktop with no message. Is there a way to skip the opening movie or should I just download a saved game from the web? Need for Speed - Porsche Unleashed runs great. Thanks in advance

The reason I was running windows 2000 was because I could not successfully load Win 98 on my system. It turns out that the hard drive was bad and finally failed completely. Now with a new HD I am running Win 98 SE. Although I may go to a dual-boot system later. With Win 98 I have just installed NFS3 and still can only setup a direct3d device and can only run at 800X600. I read above that this may be something that I have to live with. I can't drop back to DX6 due to other games that require DX7 and new ones requiring DX8. Is there a fix for this? Also, is there a website like this but geared toward windows 98? Someone also asked about my setup Athlon @ 850 256MB PC133 3Dfx Voodoo 3500 I/O Magic MagicWave PCI Maxtor 20GB HP 7200 CD-RW Thanks for that input folks, now I will go see what this thing will do with other games.
