Many, many people use anofficial drivers with good results so you could control your hw and sw configuration for issue (hardware IRQ sharing, registry corruption due to multiple driver installs etc...)

Let us know.

Bye bye

I dont see any IRQ in the video card propreties window, how can I change it then?

I'm sure they are, I tried to reinstall many times and many different drivers, from windows control panel and using the install software, but the only stable is the WinXP default driver (the one that do not have GLide/OpenGL).

But my doubt is: why do not develop banshee XP drivers based on winXP drivers instead of modifying the Win2K drivers? Is that possible? I would do it myself but I have no idea how to do that

I tried so, but no difference. Also tried other resolutions and color sets, but the problem is always the same.
The curious thing is that under win9x, I never had problems... only under winXP.
My guess is that the problem is the win2K drivers... why the XP drivers arent based on WinXP default drivers that are stable?

I tried all banshee drivers that are available for download at www.voodoofiles.com and Raziel64 driver, and also tried 3dfx Official driver for win2K.
All of them shows the same problem: the screen get wreid and confused after a short time of uptime (like 10 minute).

PS: All the drivers are based on Win2K official driver?

I never had problems with WinXP default driver... its installed right now, and everything is ok (except for no OpenGL or GLide)

my card has a cooler and its working.

in Win9x I have no problem with drivers, I always used 3dfx last official driver, and no problem, OpenGL/GLide and D3D worked great, and no wreid screen after a short time of use

I tried 3dfxzone.it driver, but after sometime like 10 minutes, the screen got wreid (I was only chatting on IRC and ICQ.), like happened before with 3dfx official win2k drivers and other 3rd party drivers. I couldnt even take a screenshot because the screen got so ugly that I couldnt tell where the cursor was, I got to restart and then change to WinXP default driver again

I'm using the winXP drivers now. (I'm a bit afraid to use 3rd party drivers and even win2K 3dfx official drivers, cause they cause the same problem I said above hehe)
Now the BIOS version is 1.20B4002 (I updated today, but I have a backup)

Also, my Monster Fusion is PCI and SDRAM

Ah, I forgot to say: When using those drivers and Open a program that uses OpenGL, when I close the program, I get a blue screen and then the system reboots

Anyway I'll try what you said, Glide
Will I be able to restore WinXP default drivers if anything goes wrong, right?

One more thing: I never updated the BIOS, should I update it? I must update to a new Monster Fusion BIOS or I can use a 3D Blaster or any other else?

Hello

I have a Monster Fusion PCI. Windows XP installed it's default driver for Banshee that only supports Direct3D (no OpenGL or GLide).
I tried to use some unnofficial Banshee drivers for XP, but then when windows starts, the screen got wreid (more I move the mouse, worse the screen gets, I couldn't even clic START/SHUTDOWN).
The drivers were based on Win2K 3dfx official driver. Anyone seen anything like that? How can I solve this? There is any new driver that would not do that?

Help me please

Thank you
