Okay, I know I'm repeating a topic here, but I'm a bit confused. I went to install NFS3:High Stakes and it told me that my Voodoo2 drivers were out of date. I have the newest drivers that I can find on CL's website (3dbvw95.exe file) installed. They clearly are older than the reference drivers that are on 3dfx's site, but they work for all my other games. My questions are as follows: What problems have people had from leaving the CL drivers and moving to the reference drivers? Are there newer drivers available from CL that I'm not finding? If not, why aren't there & when are they going to be available? Sorry again for the repetition, repetition, repetition...i DID read the other posts, I'm just a bit wary of screwing up my whole system by leaving the CL drivers! TIA. -Mark

When new stuff comes out they concentrate on that. There won't be any more updates for the V2. I started using the 3dfx drivers to get OpenGL support but this corrupted the display of Direct3d games. I overcame this by installing the CL drivers then installing the 3dfx drivers over the top of them. Now everything works fine. -- Regards, Bob

Hello Mark I use my Voodoo2 with Directx7 fine using the 3dfx reference drivers, there wont be any updates from creative, and we will be lucky to get Directx8 drivers but I am pleased to tell you I have no problems and they perform fine.
