Help needed, D3D > 3Dfx

Hi all

How do I get my D3D games to choose my 3Dfx board instead of the 3D chip
on my main graphics board (Millennium 2 at the moment), I've downloaded
3D Control center from PowerVR (or something) but it doesn't help.  

I seem to remember having read about it somewhere, but cant find it
again. All was fine until I installed Glide 2.43 drivers 3 days ago

Thanks in advance

Do you have the files glide.dll glide2x.dll and sst1init.dll in your
windows\system directory?
If not, then that's your problem.

Hi Iain

Yes I have those, my card works fine with glide games, it just doesn`t
do my D3D games ??? and yes I know this is off topic, but I`m trying to
run TOCA, so it`s not totally off topic :-)

Beers and cheers
