Hi,

Anyone know where I can get updated drivers for my Voodoo 4500 AGP video
card?  I'm using Windows 98 and the drivers I have installed are not
compatible with DirectX 8.  Upon looking at the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, I
see the following under the display tab:

The file 3dfx16vs.drv is uncertified, which means that it has not been
tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs.  You may be able to get
a certified driver from the manufacturer of the hardware device.

3dfx went out of business before they had completed Direct X8 compatible
drivers.
The drivers were released anyway and you should be able to get them from
www.3dfx.com.
There are no Microsoft Certified Direct X8 drivers for this card.
A word of warning.  I too upgraded to Direct X8 before I was aware of this
problem.
(I have a Voodoo 4500 as well )
These final drivers seem to more or less work but *all* of my Direct X7
games now have lower frame rates and various display anomalies.

How's about trying these two places? www.voodoosource.net/ and
www.voodoofiles.com/
You should be able to find what you need at one of these two sites.   : )
