Anyone got problems with voodoo3 retail drivers for win2k

[Hellstorm 0]

At first, the retail drivers seems to work.

Now I almost always get a black screen when loading half-life, quake 3 or unreal tournament. Sometimes I can start the game, but if i try to change the player, controls or graphic driver then the black screen comes up again. the hard-drive is working for about 10s-1min after the black screen is popping up. Seems like my machine has problem initializing or something with the opengl. Glide seems to work. The games work fine in win98 but when booting in win2k, the problem is back. And i do not have gfx-drivers in the game-directories.

 

Have anyone had luck with some spesific drivers for voodoo3 3000? I think that i will go back to beta-drivers, but how do i uninstall the 3dfx-f*****g drivers. (Do anyone want to buy a voodoo3 3000 pci card verry cheaply????) or maby all the other cards is so much hated as my voodoo3?

 

Help\Comments is velcome.

How much do ya want for that card?

 

I'm serious, I have dual monitor and dual voodoo3's would rock

 

Oh yeha and no problem with the drivers, they run smooth.

I got updated drivers from http://www.3dfxgamers.com/view.asp?PAGE=V3Drivers v3-w2k-retail-1.00.00.exe and I have no problems running UT, quake, changing anything in the game, etc. Work great.

Good luck.

Hey HellStorm, Where did you get the beta drivers for the V3 card? I would like to have them to see if they would make a difference in some of my games. If you could post a link as to where to get them I would appreciate it!!!!

Those drivers are great for my system. Unreal Tournament runs perfect. Quake 3 also. No random crashes as in Windumb98 StupidEdition.

my only problem with them is that they still don't support dual cpu with their sh*tty-@ss drivers.....

I haven't had any problems from 3DFX's drivers, but I use WickedGL, which for some reason will not work with WIN2K.
