I have got a Daimond Monster 3D card and when I try to use it my system locks up. I have discovered the reson for this is because the card I thought was only 2D is an ATI 3D Rage, which isn't a 3dfx card. Does anyone know how I can get my Monster 3D to work with this card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. David Bowker

I have the same setup, and it works fine. Monster handles the Glide/3Dfx stuff, and ATI handles D3D. You can disable D3D support for the monster through the control panel->Display->Monster 3D->Advanced. Mike >I have got a Daimond Monster 3D card and when I try to use it my system >locks up.

I am having trouble running 3dfx software. It locks up my 3d card, my sytem is still fine but I can't do anything because the monster is locked up.

I also have a Monster 3D II in my Aptiva P200 with the ATI 3D Rage video. The only problems I had was when I tried running some of the bundled software that was written for the ATI card. Are you having running everything or just some software?

Esp. for D3D you'd want to use the fastest card you have... what a waste of money otherwise! ;^) l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
