Thank you for the tips! It could be the heating, however, it only freezes when I run quake 1 and 2. When I play Unreal 1, it never does....strange.

I will check out those links you have posted, thank you again!

You said, some of the old zombies are still here. What happened to the rest of this community? Is there no longer interest for this wonderful 3dfx world ?

Thank you for the answer, I thought this forum was dead for sure I've tried that driver, it didn't work however.

Somehow I think I'm having a problem with older drivers not uninstalling properly......(I just clicked unistall in device manager) and that may cause the problem.

So if there is nothing more to be done driver wise, is there a method to make sure that the older drivers have been "annihilated" from the system? I saw some guys trying to fix it from the registry but I do not know where to look......

Again, thanks for your answers

Update:

I somehow managed to get koolsmokey's version working. It runs fine with unreal and the donut test is good. However, when I run glQuake or Quake 2 in 3dfxopengl it freezes after a few minutes brutally, I have to reset. Any ideas ?

Hello,

I'm new on this forum, but before posting I checked other threads about my problem, but couldn't find the answer.

Situation: whenever I tried running a glide game (glquake, quake2 3dfxopengl) or the test, the computer freezes, I can only get back to desktop with ctrl+alt+delete.

My config: AMD Sempron 1,8 Ghz, 1 Gigs of RAM, Ati Radeon 9600 Xt 256 mb ram, Creative Voodoo2.

I tried older(last reference) and newer(Fastvoodoo gold) drivers as well, I have even overwritten glide2x and glide3x with radeon compatibility drivers but nothing seemed to work.

The only difference between older drivers and newer ones for me was that if the Fastvoodoo 4.0 gold was installed, the desktop did not get all fuzzy and hazy after a game had crashed.

Any help would be a huge miracle to me, thanks in advance!
