What patch!

I haven't played it in a couple months. I do have the patch, and I used to be able to use my Voodoo 3 3000. Now whenever I change the graphics card (within the game in the options menu) to 3dfx from the default none, it tells me that no changes will occur until I restart the game. When I restart the game it defaults back to none. I can't get the card to work. This did not happen at all when I last played the game. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Marc

Don't bother responding. I figured it out 2 minutes after posting this message. It was a problem with the graphics card and the way I had it set up. I had made some changes and forgot to change them back. Sorry. Marc

Thanks anyway, but it's not that complicated. See my own reply.
