That should do the trick. You may though want to go through and manually
delete any D3D .dlls in your System directory, and maybe even go through the
registry manually and delete any references to your TNT2. I had some rogue
.dll or registry reference to my Voodoo 3 that caused the V5 to act weird
when exiting a Direct3D game, and doing this solved it. Most people don't
seem to have to do this though.
Oh yeah, another note - after you get the V5 installed, go to your Device
Manager and make sure it shows up as "3dfx Voodoo 5" and not "Voodoo Series"
or something like that. If it does have "Voodoo series", bring up it's
properties and click on "Update Driver" - then point it to the driver
location on the driver CD. It should then show up properly as "3dfx Voodoo
5". Sometimes the install doesn't put the right drivers in, and this takes
care of it.
