Banshee - Directx7 problems

1 post by 1 person · 09 Jan 2000 - 09 Jan 2000

Sorry if this is old hat. I did do a search and found some articles here and elsewhere. Lots of differing experiences. What I didn't find was a definitive solution. So, I'll try it once here: I just noticed that my latest Directx games and demos, mostly flight/driving sims, are crashing. These include the TD6, Mig Alley, Nascar rev demos, etc. Perhaps since I installed DX7 (though my first experiences with dx7 were okay). Glide games work okay. I've now tried dx7a and loaded the latest 3dfx drivers (1.03.04) as well as trying Guillemot's version of them (which I believe are identical). The D3D test in "dxdiag.exe" crashes my system. I did the usual tricks, removing all drivers before reloading, de-oc'ing my system (the Banshee is at normal speed, I run my 300a at 450 no probs). I might be willing to try uninstalling dx7/7a, but I know this is supposed to be a hassle or even last-ditch resort. Any help??
