i have a voodoo2 and am running windows 2000. i can use my voodoo 2 when
playing quake3 arena and unreal tourney, but when i try to run need for
speed: porsche unleashed, the game does not detect my 3d card. nfs5 comes
with 3dsetup.exe which detects 3d cards incase you have more than one or
want to use special options. it does not detect my voodoo2, only my shitty
rage pro on my ati all-in-wonder pro card. directx diagnostics does not
detect it either. in win98 it detected both fine and reported them as being
display1 and display2. i am running the latest beta drivers on 3dfx's
website since there are obviousy no windows 2000 drivers on creative labs
website, and the faq was last updated april 1998:( if anyone has any
suggestions, please reply. thanks.

There are 2 sets of drivers.. One set of drivers only use Glide/OpenGL and
use the pass-thru cable and allow SLI.. The other set allow D3D.. Last I
checked the D3D driver require a different monitor be attached to your V2...
Might be different now.. Which drivers are you using?
