For the latest in Direct3D Support, the SFFT Alpha 32 Driver is the best choice.

well,I think you should get rid of the glide2x to glide3x translator dll,and maybe glidexp as well.you can do it easily by unpacking this archive to your windows/system32 folder,right after you install the driver (as described here).apart from that,I must agree with Falconfly,amigasport is probably the best all around xp driver (SFFT is very good,but it still has some problems,with final fantasy 7 for example)..

Nowadays drivers have to be WHQL certified. Off course, these being third-party drivers, there simply is no funding to get them WHQL certified. So, you get a message. Just click continue and the drivers will work just fine.
