HELLO !

DO NOT INSTALL  "3DFX" DRIVERS ON YOUR ORCHID RIGHTEOUS 3DFX BOARD !!!!
IT WON'T WORK CORRECTLY !!

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM !
JUST INSTALL DIRECTX 6.1 or BETTER (DX 7)
AND USE THE ORIGINAL ORCHID RIGHTEOUS DRIVER
VERSION 3.01 !
ftp://ftp.diamondmm.com/orchid/right301.EXE  (3 MB)

IT WORKS FINE ON MY SYSTEM,
640x480 AT 56-62 FPS
800x600 AT 26-33 FPS

- AMD K6-2 3D 450
- DFI P5BV3+ VIA MVP3 1MB (Bios updated)
- 128 MB SD-RAM
- ATI 3D RAGE-PRO 8MB TV


I HOPE IT WILL HELP YA !  :-)
