Eric why reinstall the old monster files over DirectX 5.0?
Do a complete cleanup removing everything to do with the monster, check your
regestry to. Then re-install DirectX 5.0, once this is done then install the
3Dfx drivers for DirectX 5.0. I followed the instructions given by 3Dfx but
my computer told me that the location didn't have any information about the
drivers. What I did to get around this was to find the ini file for the 3Dfx
D3D 5 driver and installed it with a right click. Then I went back into
Device Manager to where the info on the 3Dfx Voodoo was kept (Multimedia
devices) and pulled up the change driver/ show compatable drivers dialogue.
There it showed the new 3Dfx driver and after selecting it I just had to
direct the path to where the new files that accompanied this driver.

Hope this is some help to you. As for the glide games, well they should not
be affected by the installation of DirectX. I am using the current 3Dfx
glide drivers and things run fine on my system.
