Hum, why this OS ?
Seems difficult to find drivers for it...

[pedreiro]

i know...

OS see, but when i will play games, open gl dont work...

for this i´m looking for driver

You play "only" in OpenGl ? and what games ?
Do you success to install a driver under Win2003Server ?

In theory and if you play only in opengl, try to put an opengl32.dll (like MesaFx, 3dfx opengl icd, WickedGl ...) directly in the game folder.

i test many driver, and anyone run.

all games that i will play, appear message error about "3d video"..

if i don´t found driver for win2003, i´ll never use my placa 3dfx voodoo3 again.

You can't come back to Win2k (not 2003 server) ? Would be really easier specially if you want to play...
I don't think that Win2003Server has been thought for the game...

i found driver for video only..

i need now configure open gl... someone know where i find driver for opengl

Windows server 2003 isn't meant to be a gaming platform, hence the word "server" in it's name. If you've got the dough to toss around to get Win2k3 server, then you must have the cash to get a new graphics card, but honestly...why a server platform for games? Get something like Xp or 2k SP4, those are a LOT closer to what you should be using.

About MesaFx, you will find it

or

For a 3dfx opengl icd
http://www.falconfly.de/opengl.htm
and use 3dfx OpenGL ICD V1.0.0.0761

For WickedGl

ps : Why do you use Win2003 Server

[SuperFurryFurryThing]

I would suggest that you try a driver that works under Windows XP. Such as AmigerSport 3. So far as I am aware Win2003 server is based on the NT code base, the last 3dfx supplied drivers don't work on later than w2k, and indeed don't work on W2k advanced server. So I would suggest Amigersport 3 which works on XP.

With Win2003 Server, you need to enable the graphics acceleration, DirectX and this OS would need WHQL drivers.
The only voodoo 3 driver for Win2k Whql is the last 3dfx V1.03.00.
So what drivers did you find working with a V3 and Win2003 Server ?
