Hello,
I have two games that "auto-detect" my 12MB Diamond Monster 3DII
card. They are: Colin McRae Rally Demo and Interstate 76 Nitro Pack. For
some reason those two games will not detect my 3DFX card. I have dozens
of other games that work just fine but those two are the problems. I
have the latest drivers for my card, the games, and Direct X 6. Any
ideas??
Thanks,

Well, which is it..do they "auto-detect" the card or not detect it?

Um... I think he's already answered your question.
He said that the games auto detect his Monster 3D2, but not his 3Dfx
card, which I assume is a Voodoo?

Ahh. I must apologise. I haven't been keeping up with the latest 3D
cards for a while now.

Um... didn't you just repeat what Trips had already said?

Um..my NG server had not delivered his message prior to my post. In fact, I
keep getting these old posts from April and May scattered throughout the current
stuff. Very annoying.

PS...Isn't The Excelsior a fancy hotel someplace?
It's a long shot, but have you enabled the option that makes DirectX
disregard the MII as a valid DirectX Multimedia device?
In this configuration, 3dfx only games will still find the card.
However, DirectX games will not.

It's under the 'Advanced' tab with Diamonds Monster II.

Um... have you tried selecting an option where you can control how
long your news reader keeps messages for?

the issue. I am speaking of messages that come in amongst the latest batch, but
with very old dates. I see headers from threads that died months ago. It is
most disconcerting!

for I76 Nitro, make a new shortcut, and use a cmd line like this:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Interstate '76 Nitro Pak\i76nitro.exe -glide"
i think thats teh default install path+file name
