I've upgraded my machine from Win95 to Win98, now
my Righteous 3D card will not work in Glide or Open GL modes.

It would appear to work in DirectX (v6.1 installed) - Worms Armegeddon
works as expected.

Whenever I try and run a game with Native support for Voodoo (v1) -
therefore
using the GLIDE api, I get a blank grey or black screen & then the
machine
hangs.

When I tried Quake2 & switched into 3DFX OpenGLmode the machine also
hung.

The card worked perfectly in Win95 (OSR2)
