                                                    You did install the 3dfx tools, right. I didn't remember them installing on their own.
Not insulting your intelligence or anything...just covering an obvious thing, y'know.

                                                    Yup i did install em, they show up in the start menu under '3dfx Tools' but when i click them nothing loads Could this maybe be due to running the voodoo as a secondary card alongside the geforce?
                                                
                                            
                                                    Not sure.
 
Have you tried right-clicking on your desktop, going to Properties-->3dfx Tools tab?
 
That's the only other thing I can think of right now.

                                                    Yup, thats part of the problem there are no tabs.
                                                
                                            
                                                    *scratches head*
I'm perplexed.
Dunno. Try reinstalling them I guess. Not sure what else to do.
I guess check Add/Remove and see if they show up there, then go from there.

                                                    Woohoo! managed to get them working. It was something to do with the voodoo 5 being the secondary card. The way i was doing it was to disable the geforce and enable the voodoo, then install the drivers. That resulted in no tabs though. But if i enabled both cards then the tabs work. Thanks for your help brian
