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
