the driver is included in windows,just click change driver,show all drivers,and plug&play should be there..
and you should use Amigasport 3.0xp driver,it should be the best for your system..

You see now mag 770v ? so this is ok for your monitor
Quotethe screen is shutting down and a message appears frequency out of range
Do you see always "out of range" ?

Hum, "in theory" you either got your refresh rate or resolution set too high but here...
and you can't use in the same time the MS driver and the Tv Out.

Don't know how you install your driver but the best would be here to remove the driver and install again properly.

from device manager, quit the voodoo.
from windoes\inf  DELETE 3dfx*.inf & search this string '3dfx' with F3, the delete something like oem6.inf ...
from (regedit) hkeylocalmachine/system/curretn control set.
the entire '3dfxvs' tree.
restar & install your favorite driver [:p]
