Direct3d & Voodoo2 in Win2k

This is a discussion about Direct3d & Voodoo2 in Win2k in the Windows Games category; I have a problem running BattleZoneII bacause it can not initiate my Direct3d. When i look at my properties for the directx it says under direct3d that no hardware was found. I can not install dx7a because it says that it is only for Windows95 & Windows98.

Which Voodoo2 drivers have you installed?

Tony Toaste's "kludge-pack" is the best, but doesn't support D3D, only Glide. The official 3dfx drivers (last I saw) did D3D but badly.

Under no circumstances install the DX7a update - it is for Win9x only.
