HALO problems
06.02.06 at 05:04:20

I have recently purchased a used voodoo 5500 card and downloaded various drivers in order to try to play halo. I found out how to play it on this card here http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1092&SearchTerms=Halo
The problem is the game tends to lockup after about 10 minutes regaurdless or faster if I ride in any vehicles. I am currently using the x3dfx driver version 1.07 beta and the 3dfx tools from a 3dhq driver.

My system specs are
200 watt power supply
Old DELL XPS r 450 upgraded to a 1ghz celeron processor
an old soundblaster soundcard
Voodoo 5 5500
and Windows Mellnium Edition
Only locks up in halo
Is there any possible way to keep the game from locking up?????

what happened to raziels evolution drivers or any of the other driver creators?????? I do not plan on upgrading to xp and all of my ide cables are full with hardrives cd rom zip drive etc..so dual boot is out of the question. Did obi won ever get a response from the creator of SFFT on the developement of a windows 9x driver???? wtf@!@!$!$!#@@#$ all I want to do is play halo!!!!! Old graphics cards what a pain.

It has a little box that says your driver is known to have serious issues with the game.
