It Don't work for me!

I have a ATI Rage Pro Turbo in a Compaq 4840 266 mhz puter. I can't get this 3dfx patch to work at all. It comes up with something like cant load *.Dll or something like that. I tried in DOS and Windows. Has anyone else tried this combination? If so would you sent me you commands with anything else that may help. I may be just doing something wrong. Thanks Dave

You didn't specify what type of 3dfx card you have. I assume you have one hooked up with your ATi card? Ken The Game Pad http://gamepad.org/

It *MIGHT* be that it doesn't work because you DON'T HAVE A 3DFX CARD!! :)

I put the dll it requires in the N2 directory and it ran fine thereafter. -- Nos send all flames to: http://www.cris.com/~nosfer/index.html ICQ:#8844008

It's the glide2x.ovl file you need to put there. -- Nos send all flames to: http://www.cris.com/~nosfer/index.html ICQ:#8844008

Ken I have the 3D RAGE PRO DISPLAY And after researching the FAQ section I found the following and answered my own question. The answer follows: As ATI products are not based on graphics chipsets manufactured by 3DFX (i.e. VOODOO or VOODOO RUSH) they will not support applications requiring 3DFX GLIDE drivers or those which are specifically written for 3DFX based cards. ATI's 3D accelerators provide support for software utilizing Microsoft's DirectX/Direct3D, OpenGL (under Windows NT), or specifically designed for use with ATI's 3D RAGE series chipsets. Most Windows 95 based software will provide support for DirectX/Direct3D in addition to any support specifically for 3DFX products. I want to thank everyone for there help and input.
