I'd bank that you've not properly removed Voodoo drivers before installing
you nVidia card.
3dfx drivers are hard to get rid of - a re install of windows is probably a
good idea

I'm afraid you're going to have to bite the bullet and reinstall Windows,
Dave. Win9x is prone to this sort of problem unlike 2K/XP. NVidia bashing,
when the problems clearly aren't nVidia's fault, isn't going to win you any
friends.

Things to do, if not done:
-in "add/remove" programs, get rid of the 3dfx drivers.
-after that, using the "find" function from your start button, do a search
for 3dfx*.*, 3dfx.*, opengl*.*, and opengl.* If/when you find something
with this, delete them.
-remove any folders, etc. left over on your hard drive that's showing in
Windows Explorer.
-re-install your Nvidia stuff.
That's all I did in my switch, and have never had a problem.

It might be worth checking with a reputable technician -- if you know
one.
