directx 9c compatability
09.03.06 at 02:03:27

Ok, so imagine first that I'm a complete numpty and have very little knowledge of the whole driver, techie thing ???

My problem: I have Win98 installed and a 3dfx Voodoo3 graphics card. At some point I downloaded directx 9.0c which apparently isn't supported by the current driver I have (3Dfx16v3.drv). I noticed no problem until running 'Black and White', which incidentally ran fine with directx 8. Now I have display problems. Is there any way of fixing this?

I excitedly await the replies of my intellectual superiors. Grin

Thank you kindly for your help.

In my opinion you should uninstall dx 9c and reinstall 8.1 or whatever you had before. You remove directx using DXExtractor or DXDetonator. You could try to use newer 3rd party drivers as well. You can find them here: http://falconfly.de/voodoo3.htm Regards. Alpar

I uninstalled directx 9.0c, re-installed directx 8.1 and updated my voodoo3 drivers. Now it seems I'm in a brighter and more colouful world! I have a new lease of life! You have made my existance worthwhile, and I thank you. Broonale72
