YoMamma April 7, 2003 Share YoMamma Member April 7, 2003 Uh, I was trying to fix my video card (VooDoo5) since it only ran 3dfx for Halflife since i installed Windows XP. Well, first I tried to update using the cd which came with the card, but it said Only Runs on Windows95/98. Next, I download and install a Windows 2000/ME patch which is supposed to fix it. During instalation it said it requimended I stopped the instation, but I continued. After it was done I tried CS and tried to change the Video Mode. Now not only did OpenGL not work, but 3dFx also does not work. So, I uninstalled it, reinstalled a Win9x update and now they both still dont work. But, my comp now detects OpenGL and Glide along with 3dfx, when it didnt b4. so how do i fix cs? reinstall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linch April 7, 2003 Share linch Member April 7, 2003 Hmm.. just want to clarify a couple things. Is your graphics card properly showing in your device manager? I'm going to move topic to the techies forum. It will likely get better views there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMamma April 7, 2003 Author Share YoMamma Member April 7, 2003 beh... I broke it and fixed it again. so now OpenGL doesnt work, but CS does under 3dfx. Good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL April 7, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 7, 2003 3dfx IS OpenGL, they just have a specialized .dll for it. You select OpenGL then choose either Default or 3dfx. The video options are OpenGL, Direct3D, or Software Mode. If you have a Voodoo card, you should be using 3dfx as your mode, other chipsets, Default.

[Mmmm]Homer April 7, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member April 7, 2003 Wow, a 3dfx card! I thought they had all been retired by now. The good news is that if/when you upgrade you can jump about 7 generations forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL April 7, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 7, 2003 My previous computer (which I still have and am setting Linux up on) is an old Compaq Presario 5280. I came with an integrated 4MB AGP video card and NO AGP slot for upgrade. I was on a budget crunch at the time so I got 2 Voodoo2 1000s and linked them via the SLI cable that came with them. It still sucked but was better than my integrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
