Gpl and windows 2000

Can't seem to get gpl to work with windows2000 and a 3dfx card .I've got a voodoo 3 2000 pci card with 128 mb/ram running on a pentium 366. When I try to load up the game I get the 3dfx logo and then the sierra startup screen then the application crashes to the desktop.What is the best drivers and where to get them for gpl and voodoo. Thanks...

Thanks... You have to use the George Smiley's glide-o-matic -patch to get it to run. -- Mika Takala [email hidden] Please remove the invalid parts from my email address if replying by email.

The orginal 1.0 version just shows the start-up screen the drops to the desktop as you describe. Ian

Well, when I was using W2000 last year for a while, it certainly worked for me. Are you sure that: 1) you're using the 1.2 patch, and 2) you've followed the instructions in the readme with the smiley patch?
