"the overlay surface is not available at this time. This application will not close......"
The IRQ of voodoo is 11. And dont have a conflit. After many attempt including: Format, drivers reistalations, directx reisntalation in many orders, I really dont have idea whats going on here.


I am thankful for any help! :D

I searched google with the Problem, and ( * lol * ) I found the Archive itself with a possible answer :

http://www.falconfly.de/info/faqv33500tv.html#q9

It's in the official FAQ's.

Others :
http://hardware.multiplayer.it/video3d/faq/voodoo3_3500tv.html
( beware : Italian, use online-translator )

A very good one :

Hope some of this helps :)

I tried all the things describe on FAQ... I dont have webTV because this is w98se brazilian version. Well...this things dont solve my problem...but thanks anyaway for your effort!

Hmm, wait a minute.

Brazilian Users have often asked because of such problems.

It might be the locale of the Driver/Software used.

Have you tried the "Standard Select" Utility ?

It seems some Brazilian Users have a special Problem with the V3-3500 , and so far there has not been a definite solution (to be honest, the actual Problem is not even nailed down, since some Users don't seem to have any troube (?)  )

Anyway, if you don't have WebTV, that means you'd need one of the VfW (Video for Windows) Versions of Driver & Software.

After many attempts... I decide to put the win98 english version...so now I cant use the pal-m...the program called "V3STD" dont solve the problem of colors...any idea? the card is NTSC version...

Thanks! your help is always very welcome. ;)

Unfortunately, I have nothing else than Jonathan Seidner's small FAQ found in the Readme (some points address the apparently common PAL-M problems).

If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas (and I'm not the only one)  :-/
