What version of Windows are you using? Some older versions (95, 95a) don't fully support AGP (since it wasn't invented yet :). I found this out when I tried to upgrade from an ISA to PCI sound card. Apparently the way Win95a (mis-)handles an AGP video card causes conflicts with PCI devices. :( "But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
G'day Jeff, System is win95 with 98 upgrade and all upgrades since,the crazy thing is i can run GPL,TOCA2,but when i come to running SCGT it won't let me passed initial menu,start button is black,even when i try to start in software mode,man i was running this game well last week in 3DFX until i had to re-install win98upgrade,thats why i suspect an obscure driver. > On Sun, 31 Oct 1999 17:40:07 +0800, "Dennis Forde" > >I have been having trouble running some of my games with my new VooDoo > >3-3000 card,so i have run the DirectX Diag'S program,under the Display, test > >AGP support says NOT AVAILABLE,yet i can test Direct 3D with no problems,is > >this a driver problem or has some application somehow disabled my card? man
