Metallisoft
Anyone have this combo that found stable drivers? Specificially for Descent 3's 3dfxGlide. Or even XP? The drivers that came with 2k, Descent3 doesn't even register Glide. I have a LAN today, and I just wiped my 2k and XP clients and reverted back to 98se.

Freeze by resolution change?

ConQueso
Got a problem. Tried canning video and audio acceleration, tried ACT 1. 5, no dice. Had an HD problem, and restored my W2K install with Ghost. Now UT takes about 15-30 seconds to change screen resolution, and Age of Empires 2 (fresh install, latest patch) just plain goes black after the intro movies.
