I'm trying to install NFS3 to use on my LAN. Working with NT4. 0 sp6. I found the directX 5 for NT fix, but looks like it's not enough. I heard about a NT fix for NFS3 but can't find it. . . Or is there any other way to make it work ? Please help.

I have just upgraded my computer to Win2000 for networking reasons among other things, and can't figure out why my computer has problems playing games. I am using a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI, and the first problem is installing the drivers.

Playing Unreal under Direct3D or OpenGL

Cheese Weasel
Can someone please tell me how to get Unreal to use my obviously capable GeForce DDR? I can see where the rendering options are listed under Advanced Options, but no matter what I click on or highlight, it still uses software rendering.
