Ok. 3dfx's Reference driver gives you a OpenGL ICD, but if you are using CL's driver, you probably don't have an ICD driver. Try this: 1. Download 3dfx MiniGL driver version 1.47 from http://www.3dfxgamers.com/view.asp?PAGE=VBdrivers. 2. Install the driver in a "TEMPORAL" folder, such C:\Program Files\3dfx MiniGL. 3. Copy the file "opengl32.dll" to your HomeWorld folder and try the OpenGL mode. ------- ####### -------- 3.1 If STEP 3 doesn't work, just try to download the latest 3dfx referencial driver, called "Voodoo Banshee Windows 9x Reference Drivers AGP/PCI - Version: 1.04.00" 3.2 Rename the "opengl32.dll" file to "Backup of opengl32.dll" 3.3 Try to run the game again... ------ ####### --------- Well, CL 3D Blaster Banshee driver haven't OpenGL ICD, but I did a little trick to solve this situation with an older OpenGL ICD version. I installed the CL 3D Blaster Banshee (082799 - 3dbb9xup.exe) and I copy a old 3dfx ICD file called 3dfxOGL.dll (version 1.0.0.0.438 - size: 900 Kb) in my Windows\System folder and I added to the "OpenGLdrivers" register's key: 3dfxOGL.dll (Windows Register, use REGEDIT at RUN command). I solved many OpenGL screen saver and games problems, but MiniGL driver runs games and applications better Saludos desde Venezuela - Greetings from Venezuela Deathwalker <ianlincoln@clara.co.ukspam> escribi๏ฟฝ en el mensaje de noticias 899263$6hd$1@news.creativelabs.com... > Banshee is a gaming product.
