To anyone who can help;

I have a Voodoo4 4500 - AGP, version 1.04.00 of the Win2k drivers, all of which worked perfect on Whistler 2296.1, but now build 2410 is giving me one hell of a time getting the 3D working !! I have tried all possible solutions, even the one posted on this WebSite, I follow the steps but when I go to install the 3DFx Tools, I am getting the following error, even in SafeMode;

Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\3dfx Interactive\3dfx Tools\AdvTweak.dll failed to register.
HRESULT - 2147418113. Contact your support personnel.

Anyone else run into this error ? If so how do I get around this ? I am so disappointed that all was so good in the land of Beta, then the evil emporer arrived smile Help !!

let's try this..

download latest beta v3 drivers then extract to a directory and DO NOT RUN SETUP.EXE then copy all .dll files in there except 3dfxvs.dll into your windows/system32 directory then load up regedit and in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windowsnt/currentversion/opengldrivers add a new key called 3dfx and in there make a string call DLL and put the text "3dfxogl.dll" without quotations, then a DWORD with DriverVersion as 1 , a DWORD with Flags

V3 drivers ? I have a Voodoo4 4500 - AGP, this is kind of a step backwards isn't it ?

Still no luck. I am Win2k now, going to have a look at how the registry is laid out for the video card see what the hell is going on.

Been there...done that. hehehehehe sorry but now you know how I feel, maybe I just have a bad copy of 2410, I am waiting for 2416 now, and I am praying to the Beta Gods that this problem will be fixed again. It was working fine in build 2296.1 frown
