Has anyone been able to get 3DFX N2 running under Win98 using Fat32? Thanks, Jim

I was using Fat32 before installing Win98 and couldn't run N2 with 3DFX. >Has anyone been able to get 3DFX N2 running under Win98 using Fat32? >Thanks, >Jim Ernie

Fat32 is not the issue. I'm running Win95 OSR2 with FAT32 and everything works fine. I've successfully run N2 with both a Voodoo and a Voodoo2 card. Don't forget, it's just a beta, and betas are not guaranteed to work for everyone. -- ========================================================= John Simmons (Redneck techno-Biker) - Zerex12 http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html If you want to send me email, go to the URL shown above and click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

> Has anyone been able to get 3DFX N2 running under Win98 using Fat32? Yes, runing fine with no problems at all. I didn't have to do anything special, it just worked. Trips

I just downloaded and install new drivers released today for my son's Stealth II V2100. I think the reason that the Monster 3d drivers haven't been updated yet is because it is a secondary card used for 3dfx only. If your monster card is in-op you can still run your pc on your main display adapter whatever it is.With all the display adapter problems I've been reading about since Win98 was released ( just a week ago ) I'm sure the various manufactureres have been scrambling to deal with the main display adapter problems first. I still think you'll see something soon. Fire off some E-Mail at Diamond about your problem. " The squeaky wheel gets the grease " .

I am running windows 98 with fat 32 enebled and I am able to run the nascar racing 2 game in the 3dfx mode. Except I just get frozen up somewhere in the game (actuallyany 3dfxgame) for some reason. Of coarse, this is still using the win98 beta build 1721.3.

So what if it works perfectly? Why be on the internet if you can't download new drivers and completely futz a tuned, working system? ;-) Ken

That's true, rreved, but with everybody else releasing new drivers, it just seems a little strange that Diamond hasn't followed suit.....OUCH....my flame-proof body armor is failing!!
