OT_Changeover from V3000\3 to GEForce GF2 TI problems

Hi, I've just installed Geforce 2 ti card Galaxy,after uninstalling Voodoo3 3000 i bought this card to use F1 2001,unfortunately when i use the F1 config.exe it comes up with the same message as when i was using my Voodoo???? "no directx 8 video adapters found",although i have directx 8 on my machine. anyone have any suggestions please,i have installed win9x-21.83 drivers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also any good links to how to build or fix PC's Thanks in advance

You may have old voodoo drivers and registry entries still active on your pc. Which version of windows are you using? 98SE I would go to start, run, regedit. Ctrl f and enter 3dfx, find. delete entry hit f3 do it again. You may have to shut down regedit and do it a number of times before they are all deleted Then do the same and enter glide. Do the same and enter voodoo. When all finished reboot and the go to start, find. Type in 3dfx* and hit find. Delete all entries. do the same for glide*, the Voodoo*. Put asterisks after each word. Don't know if this will work in later version of windows. Trying to help out. Been there with my V5 to gf3. Now all is well :o) DC skell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3c53c323$0$[email hidden]... > Hi, > I've just installed Geforce 2 ti card Galaxy,after uninstalling Voodoo3 > 3000 > i bought this card to use F1 2001,unfortunately when i use the F1config.exe

Go to your display properties , select settings tab then advanced then adapters and change your adapter to a PCI Vga card and reboot . Then install your drivers again and all should be fine . Geforce cards can be a little fussy to install . Try www.pcmech.com for PC building tips. cheers A
