Help! Problem with Vortex 1 sound & NT4

Rooski

I just can't seem to install the NT4 drivers for my Diamond S90 pci sound card (Vortex 1). I'm using service pack 3, which the drivers require. After the installation routine, I recieve an error message that reads something like: Cannot load Vortex driver.

Win2k Directx with Matrox Mystique + Guillemot Maxi Gamer

sacha

I have installed win2k on my machine. It didnt pick up the Maxi Gamer 3dfx card, so I used the inf file from this site to install it. However, directx does not know the 3dfx card is there so I dont have any drivers installed.

I have Win2k Professional beta3 (2031) and when I install it on my machine it finds all the components great and installs the drivers but when I let it boot into SVGA mode the screen goes blank after the windows 2000 loading progress screen, but I can boot it in VGA mode and everything is fine.

Anyone manage to get D3D to work with Voodoo2?

PupsterXero

Is there any chance of Direct3D working with the Voodoo2 by any means? both my other two cards are ****, the PowerVR wouldnt work either, and my Matrox Mystique, well, that speaks for itself. .

D3D and OpenGL with Viper 550 in Win 2k

mod

Running Win 2000 Build 2072 on my new computer, but having a problem with my Viper 550. Direct 3D was working fine with the standard driver, but OpenGL wouldn't, so I installed the nVidia 2. 08 drivers for NT and now OpenGL works, but Direct 3D doesn't.
