Ok, I'm  replying to myself (can I go blind doing that?)  My problem may be that I may have neglected to change my color to 16 bit and therefore the drivers won't work.  Can anyone tell my how I can force my pc to boot in 16 bit?  I have tried to do it from the control panel when I boot off my AGP card but it won't save the changes and reverts back to 32 bit.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Installed my Voodoo 5 5500 and Windows xp immediately went out and found drivers for it.  Was able to use the card just fine but I wanted to try the Amigamerlin drivers so I tried to install them instead of the Microsoft drivers.  Now I can't get the card to work at all.  The pc appears to boot and it gives me the initial boot screen and says the voodoo 5 is installed but all it shows me after that is a blue screen.  It sounds like everything is loading but nothing shows up on the monitor.  I tried going back to the original Microsoft drivers but the same thing happens.

What have I done wrong?


Asus P4PE
Intel 2.4B
ATI 9700 AIW (AGP)
Voodoo 5 5500 (PCI)
Windows XP (with service pack)
Direct x 9

S! Hearse.

I played RB3D years ago as Rebells_Shadow.  I stumbled across the FCJ stuff a little while ago and I am starting to get excited about flying again.  I am totally impressed with the work that has been done for this game by the community and I have no trouble paying for all the hard work that has been done.  I also bought a Voodoo 5500 PCI on Ebay but I haven't installed it yet.  I tried to install RB3D last night but a stupid malfunctioning CD reader has scratched it so badly I can't complete the install.  Fortunately my brother in law has the game and is going to burn me a copy.  

See you in the skies!
