Thanks FalconFly!

It's worse than I had expected: I used the program to remove every driver concerning 3dfx, I reinstalled the drivers and the tools, I didn't restart and I tried the repair option. The same damn problem occurs. If I try to repair from the folder in "c:\program files\3dfx", created by the tools' program, it says that the *.cab file can't be found. This *.cab file is found in the zipped file from where the drivers are installed.

If this is a Windows 2000\XP related problem, isn't there a way to avoid getting this message? Because before reinstalling Windows 2000, the tools installed porperly without error messages.

I'm thinking of a Service Pack (SP) or DirectX related problem, but it's strange that nobody tried to fix it, as it seems that many people are receiving this message under 2000\XP.

That's the info about the MoBo. If that's not the right screenshot, let me know, I'll post the other I took.

It's a Compaq Deskpro EN Series SFF (Small Front Factor, which is only related to the case's size). It has a 10 MB hard disk, a CD reader (no DVD nor burner), 256 SDRAM of memory, 2 PCI slots (I put the Voodoo in one and the Sound Blaster Audigy in the other).

It's got then an updated BIOS, running under Windows 2000 Professional French version.

I think this is it... but anyway I guess it's only a software problem, not related to my hardware (because before formatting, the tools worked fine).

Actually, I tried to install the drivers (the 3dfx original ones) before and separately from the tools and...

What's wrong with my English?

Or do you need me to write in German?

I meant, I installed the 3dfx drivers from the control panel, rebooted, installed the 3dfx tools (no error message) and the rebooted one last time.
