ATI TV Wonder PCI & RC3

Shrink
As you can probably tell, in addition to my not getting liveware to work, I can't get my TV Wonder working either. Not that it is much of a surprise but I was hoping that the new ATI software would have had drivers that worked with it.

Extent of Voodoo2 Usability

Steo
Hello, I was wondering what the extent of the usability that some people have gotten with Voodoo2 with W2k? I have W2k B2176 and I have voodoo2 installed under the Sound, Video Controller section. I can get some things like 3dfx Glide Demo's to work but other games don't seem to really recognize it.

Win2k and Sound Blaster AWE64

RainManElmo
Hey. . . I know a lot of you have figured out how to get SB Live to work in 2000. . . but I have SB AWE64 and although it says it's working in all of the hardware properties, I am getting no sound. In fact when I try to play something like an mp3 or wav, the counter will go to 2 or 3 seconds and then just stop.

Voodoo 2

Flashpoint
OK - I am trying to install a Voodoo 2 (using 2176) I have tried a few updated drivers from different places with no luck. Has anyone found updated drivers and had any luck with them ? Device manager now says its install but has a problem, and does not list the problem so I am stumped !.
