Mm.. thanks for the assistance! I really appreciate it. though.. I think I downloaded the same version, possibly even the very same file from your archives, when I last had this running (working, almost ok..). Non-US version of 3dfx visual reality.. heh. oh well, tricky things these. Possibly some sort of complication going on with drivers and/or registry, yeah..
*sips tea*
One more thing popped in my head just now.. I remember having trouble getting colors in TV picture last time, as well as finding channels (it didn't find anything with auto search.. uh, actually it did, but it skipped them, or didn't save them to any channel slots or something) and I couldn't capture anything (it just said: "couldn't capture" or so, no additional info)
I also have this.. problem. I've got TV-OUT connected via S-video - scart connector, but if I select S-video from TV tab, I get black&white picture only. Even if I set signal type to Finland, (where I live) I still get b&w picture. I also tried every possible options from that selection box. But.. if I change connector selection to composite, I get normal colors.. I think that's weird. There's no real problem with that itself, but after making that selection I have to boot up, and when I return to windows, screen is all scrambled up. On my monitor, that is, TV screen isn't showing anything until I 90% blind, fool around and open up 3dfx tools, switch to TV tab and then, *baam*. Monitor goes blank and I see picture in TV screen with normal colors and everything (without making any selections. Opening the TV tab is enough). Could this have something to do with driver complications? I'm not even sure if my card is US or European version.. I got this pc as a christmas present a year ago (my friend's old).
Oh, and Special thanks to you, FalconFly, and the rest of the folks maintaining these forums, site, everything.. we 3dfx lovers most likely wouldn't make it without a place like this.
