Resolution with Voodoo5

cbowen
Has any of you run the Motocross Madness 2 with Win2k Beta drivers with the Voodoo5? I am unable to play it above 640 x 480 res. Any time I set it above 640 x 480 res. then try to start the race it automatically restarts my machine.

Voodoo2 with Win2k - Not Detected in Directx

pandaman
I have Windows 2000 installed, and I installed the latest beta version of the Windows 2000 driver for the Voodoo2 from 3dfx's page. It says it's installed and everything, but then it isn't listed in directx so I can't use it with Direct3D games.

really quick Disk Management question

INFERNO2000
I was playing around in Disk Management yesterday, changing the letters to my cd drives(from O and P to R(CD-RW) and V(DVD)). I saw something in the harddrive options saying Dynamic Disc What is that? It says after I do that, I cannot install older OS's, which is fine with me.

Sick to death of IRQ problems.

Cardinal
It seems that I am not alone in suffering the problem of 'IRQ sharing'. There are now many posts regarding the issue. Most people seem to state that as long as ACPI is enabled in your OS then IRQ sharing will be automatically used.

Anyone know of a semi-decent graphics card that works well as a secondary graphics adapter under Win2k? I currently have a TNT2A as the primary display adapter and a Creative Banshee PCI as a secondary display adapter.

Motherboard Question

kgeissler
I am going to be upgrading the motherboard and CPU on my computer. Right now I am running Win2000. Do you think it would be OK to just swap the motherboard and cpu and boot up? Or do you think there will be problems with the HAL? Any ideas? TIA.
