I have the same problem, as Taranis. Voodoo 5, DirectX 9 and win XP, Freelancer's menus are not working. I've never managed to get 3dhq Beta 10 drivers to work at all. So, I did exactly as johnlinford told, removed 3dfx -related stuff from my hard-drive and registry, installed 3dhq Beta 10 drivers, and made the changes to Direct3D settings.
Still not working. I continue having the same problem, as always with 3dhq 1.09 Beta 10 Drivers. That is: my computer always reboots at the beginning of any game, when I'm using those drivers. It also reboots while running DXDIAG -Direct3D test. Hardware accelerated DirectX 7 interfaces it can handle, but when DXDIAG starts to test accelerated DirectX 8 interfaces, my machine reboots. Any idea why?
