Windows XP Voodoo Woes

Jman · 01-01-2002, 03:33 PM

Hi
I have read the forum and still i cant seem to get my aquarium to work.
I have 2 PC's both with Voodoo cards 1 has a 4500 and the other a 5500.
Both PC's work perfect with XP Plus all 3 fish and perfect picture.
I then downloaded .99 and it displays everything in white we now have a white fish and white rocks etc...
Yet the XP Plus is perfect.

this happens on both machines..
I have tried different drivers including the Micosoft ones but no joy. If boot into Windows Me it works perfect on both PC's ??.
I want to pay Jim his dues but i also want brag about my cool fishtank HELP Please..........

Regards
Jman

Have you tried Windows Update?

If that doesn't work, then you'll need to go to the 3dfx drivers at www.3dfx.com and make sure when you are installing this driver that you replace NEWER files with the OLDER ones.

A couple of months ago someone posted a message about VooDoo drivers that supported both D3D and Glide.

Just a quick one for the Voodoo users out there.

You cann get the latest Voodoo drivers at www.x3dfx.com

Notice the name change. Added "x" at the begining. I believe this site is ran by a group of "Ex" developers from 3dfx.

Watch which drivers you use. The betas don't always work.

I strongly suggest you download ALL of the versions for your card, and save them somewhere. I did, and it came in real handy. I had to 'downgrade' my driver.
