Cont- MAJOR PROBLEM: Monster 3d II Video Card

Hello, Well, since I lost some data, I had to restart the string, but I have done (or atleast tried) to do what you guys told me to do. So, I have everything on the motherboard to the origanol settings at 233mhz p-mmx, 128mb sdram, asus txp4 mb, stealth 3d 3000 card going to the accelerator, etc. The Problem is cuased when I use the 3dfx enhancement or d3d. When it is in use, at a point, the screen will lock up, but sometimes I can get back into windows with using the alt.ctrl-del mode and killing the app, or sometimes it just locks up m computer. Any thought or ideas would be welcome. Mark F.

I don't know about the Voodoo 2 cards, but the original Voodoo cards had a great deal of problems coexisting with S3 based video cards such as yours. Check on Diamonds website for a file called S3FIX, this may solve your problem. Chris "I died for you...

Get the generic drivers from www.3dfx.com. The diamond drivers are useless for GPL and perhaps other apps too.
