Try going back to 95? I know it's not much of a fix, but my machine runs
beautifully under 95 and under 98 nothing works - things hang, skip,
freeze and grind all over the place... and 'cos I don't use USB or
multiple monitors I figured screw 98 and stuck with 95.

Worked for me...

Cheers,

D.

Hi

   I have the same problem,too..And if I update the driver to the lastest
version,it get worse.
   I can't play any game....even with the DirectX mode.
   I ues K6-2 400,and R3D. If you find out how to solve it,please give me
an e-mail.

  Thanks..

Sorry but I have Win98, a Voodoo2, 192Mb Ram on a Dell. Graphics card is
Permedia2 based. Everything works just fine at 800 x 600.

I had the same problem, but under different circumstances, i has a voodoo
banshee and then took it out and used a voodoo 1 R3d card.

I would just lock the computer on all glide games, the problem was that the
directx drivers were for the old banshee card .

i had to do a fresh install of win98 which cured it!

system is     350 AMD
                      gigabyte GA-5X
                       64 mb RAM


maybe this will work??

so you didn't uninstall the Banshee card first?

I've reinstalled Win95 (so a nice clean installation), installed the
drivers for my Matrox Millenium card, then installed the drivers for
the Voodoo, tested the system - same problems, then installed direct X
6.1 - still the same problem.

Why have you replaced the Banshee for an older card?

Before you buy.

Matt,

I had the same problem when upgrading my P233MMX to an AMD K6-3/400 last
week. The 3dfx reference drivers I was using for my Monster 3D no longer
worked (blank screen on D3D, OpenGLfx and Glide games). I re-loaded the
latest 3dfx reference drivers and it still didn't work. However installing
DX7 and the latest Diamond drivers fixed the video...now if I could only
get directsound working properly on the AWE64 Gold (it sounds choppy with
DX7 and AMD K6-3/400). Latest SB drivers are not certified and did not fix
the problem.

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 !  :-)

No, the problem is with a file called
something like fxmemmap.vxd, the version
in the new drivers doesn't work with AMD
cpu's. I believe 3dfx are aware of this
and Diamond have released fixed files.
So you can either replace this file with
an older version or install older
drivers.
