Cont- MAJOR PROBLEM: Monster 3d II Video Card

by Mark F » Wed, 22 Jul 1998 04:00:00

Hello,
    Well, since I lost some data, I had to restart the string, but I have
done (or atleast tried) to do what you guys told me to do. So, I have
everything on the motherboard to the origanol settings at 233mhz p-mmx,
128mb sdram, asus txp4 mb, stealth 3d 3000 card going to the accelerator,
etc.
    The Problem is cuased when I use the 3dfx enhancement or d3d. When it is
in use, at a point, the screen will lock up, but sometimes I can get back
into windows with using the alt.ctrl-del mode and killing the app, or
sometimes it just locks up m computer. Any thought or ideas would be
welcome.

I don't know about the Voodoo 2 cards, but the original Voodoo cards
had a great deal of problems coexisting with S3 based video cards such
as yours. Check on Diamonds website for a file called S3FIX, this may
solve your problem.

   Get the generic drivers from www.3dfx.com. The diamond drivers are useless for GPL and
perhaps other apps too.
