Anyone have the N4 demo running on Win2000? I have a V5 5500 with
latest drivers and N4 installs, tests the video mode (1024x768x16),
goes to the setup menu and 1st thing I notice is all the text under
the driver 1st and last name entry is garbled. The cars show and
rotate fine. If I leave that menu after putting in a name I get a blue
screen error in 3dfxvs.dll (or similar). I'm DL'ng a new copy now, but
don't really think its a corruption issue as it runs on my WinME
boot..
N3 runs fine under 2000.
Anyone else have N4 and 2000?

I had the same problem with the latest
3dfx win2k drivers. I went back to the
July release drivers and all works fine
for me.
To go backwards though I found that I had
to manually decompress the exe drivers file
and do an driver update from device manager.
Good Luck, DB

I went into Microsofts Update and downloaded the latest Compatability
updates (no, N4 isn't listed), DirectX 8.0, along with the latest 3DFX
driver (though I did load the latest one on the 3DFX site, MS Update
said I needed theirs, soooo....). Then I downloaded the new
N4demo.exe from Papy's site and it installed and ran fine. No video
corruption at all, game is smmoth as can be at 1024x768.
