Hi, 

I have an Amd K6 500 mhz, with a Voodoo3 board.
Computer worked fine until one day while booting up into Windows98 the
diskscan window appeared. It was getting stuck around 4% and wasn't
getting much further. I tried the Western Digital diskscan utility and
it restored the disk drive and i was able to boot into Windows98.

All works well except the Video. It tells me I have a problem with the
video properties. So I installed back to basic VGA and it will only
give me 640X480 16 colors. Then i try to load my Voodoo Drivers and
that keeps rejecting saying that I don't have the proper hardware for
that card. Finally I got it to accept the Voodoo drivers but again I
am stuck in 640 X480 16 colors.

Any Ideas? I tried another diskdrive with a fresh install of Windows
98 and it recognizes my Voodoo Card. So there is nothing wrong with
the card.

Thanks,

Danny
