Voodoo2 and XP...problems

[mario64]

I have two voodoo2's in SLI mode setup on a Win XP Pro system. I used the FastVoodoo2 v2.5 drivers. Everything installed correctly and works fine except when I exit a Glide-based game, my desktop graphics get completely corrupted. I have to reboot in order to correct it.

Any ideas what might be causing this and/or how to fix it? Should I be using different drivers?

Thanks,

Hi mario64,

welcome

I don't believe that the problem is due to FV2...

One question: do it occur with all GLide games or some only?
If the second is true you could repeat system configuration that's to say:

- Remove ATI driver, then reboot.

- Remove 3dfx driver, then reboot.

- Install latest driver kit for mb chipset (if it's made by Intel you could install before inf and then Intel Application Accelerator), then reboot.

- (Re)install DirectX 9.x, then reboot.

- Now Catalyst v. 3.6 (better than v. 3.5), then reboot.

- FastVoodoo2 2.5, then reboot.

Try some games and report results here.


Bye bye

there would be some problems between the ATI cards and the Voodoo's 2 but some users would be more lucky than others,
oh well if i remember in the "past" , this was already the case !

I have the same problem with RedBaron 3D.
Using a Diamond V2 with 12meg connected to a Radeon 9500Pro.

the solution has been found with an older glide

Would you be more specific please? Which version of Glide is required to fix this?

Right you are Nightbird. That driver fixed it. Thanks for the tip!
