THIS IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM BOOT, BUT YOU MAY WANT TO INCLUDE SOME INFORMATION ON YOUR SYSTEM (I.E. PROCESSOR, VID CARD, MEMORY, ETC) TO HELP THEM DETERMINE WHAT MAY HELP.

Did you select a graphics mode before the blue screen?   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)

 Do you have DirectX 7.0 ?  I think that might be the problem.  Cant remember.....duh.  I think it WAS my problem.

And thirdly, get the latest 3dfx drivers.  I recall that issue messin' with me after .34 release or so.
Hope ya get it workin'    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Do you have the latest version of DirectX?  You need to have at least 6.1, but 7.0a is recommended.

Delete your video.cfg file and make sure you don't select 32 bit if it lets you.
