PCI graphics card is a s3 virge dx/gx 35/385
installed dx7a
has worked ok for some time!

Then I got the 3d blaster card recently.

installed creative 3d blaster voodoo2 using standard drivers (Creative
Blaster Voodoo2 2-15-1998)
* Voodoo2 DirectX Driver Version: 2.16 RC1
* D3D Voodoo2 Driver Build Number: 4.10.01.0053 RC1

using downloads for Windows 9x I updated with latest 3dfx voodoo 2 drivers
for dx7 (voodoo 2 3d accelerator) -
http://www.3dfxgamers.com/drivers/voodoo2/v2-w9x-3.02.02.exe.
reinstalled dx7a

I got FATAL EXCEPTION 0D at 0028:C14FBDFE in fxmemmap.vxd

I get this ANY WHERE including DX setup, running games or the control panel
for 3dfx ........


THEN changed driver under system to original "oem creative 3d drivers" (but
they are for dx5)
now only when I boot into WIndows 98 I get error

WINDOW: RUNDLL
Error in 3dfxv2ps.dll
MIssing Entry:updateregsettings

however it does let me go into dxsetup now and run games etc.

How do I get latest drivers to work and sort out any registry issues !!!

I have downloaded 3dbvw95 and testing but this only support DX6 which is a
problem because I have DX7 loaded.

Please can anyone Help.
Thanks
Tony
