Being on the testing programme for MS, I recently received a shiny copy of
Windows 2000 Release Candidate 2

Surprisingly enough, it picked up every bit of hardware in my PC including
the SBLive and the Voodoo3-2000 AGP card.  I tried out some apps - fine,
then some DirectX games - perfect!!

But.... when it came to trying half-life, I ran out of luck.  I installed
the latest MiniGL and it founf HL and installed itself there.  I then went
into the config for HL and selected MiniGL and a screen resolution of
1024*768 (the same as the current desktop).  Fine.... then I tried starting
a game and I got a message saying that the OpenGL resoltion s not supported
by the 3D card!  This also happened at any other resolution I tried.

I then tried reverting to DirectX - it looked fantastic but ran like a slug
(and the system is a 450Mhz PIII with 256Mb ram) so no joy there.

I went to the 3DFX drivers page but they have drivers listed for NT4 and
Win95/98 - none apparent for Win2000.

Has anyone found a solution to this?
