Title: HELP! More Blue Screen
Post by: redneck on January 03, 2000, 01:41:00 PM

I've also got a light blue screen only. The last version I had before getting .43 was .35 (kinda fell behind). It worked fine thru ver .35, but now won't run.  Did something change? I've tried Ronni's advice with a previous message (deleting video.cfg, etc.) but it does nothing. I don't get the option to choose video cards and there are no better drivers than what I have, I think. I reinstalled ver .35 and it ran fine. Tried .43 - doesn't run. I even completely uninstalled .35 before installing the new version. I have a Diamond Monster Vodoo 2. Any advice?

Thanks Westy. Unfortunately I tried that but the video card won't work with that driver. If you've or anyone tried the driver on the same card and it works, i'll try again.  Any other suggestions would help. Out of the game til resolved.

Well. Seems the drivers that did work for so many have been supplanted by a new beat driver set.

 I had a Creative Voodoo II that did better  with the 3Dxf drivers. And they also fixed many Voodoo II users problems with Aces High after the 038 version came out.
 I have them at home. I can email it or if someone offers FTP space for them I can send the drivers to that person.
 I've since moved on to a Diamond V770 Viper vid card or I'd try the new beta drivers out myself to see what happens.
 Post your email or send it to me at my email addy of westy@shepherdsfold.com and I'l get them to you. Unless soeone puts them up on an
FTP site in the meantime
 If these drivers do not work then you may
need to post more info as to what your system specs are. Hopefully you have DX7 or DX7A
too.

RedNek,

I accidentally left your email address at work.
The last 3dFx VoodooII drivers(the ones that worked. not the latest beta driver) I have standing by to send. It's 2.5meg in size so hope your ISP will let a zip file that size thru.
Plse resend email address.
