Voodoo3 refresh rates

Sphincter
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but how do I adjust the refresh rate for 3dfx based games? (Quake) I got my Voodoo3 2000 PCI card to work with the drivers and inf here, but when I go into Quake2, the game is using the default refresh rate of 60hz.

Win 2000 and HP ScanJet 5pse SCSI

Richard J. Nelson
Has anyone figuired out how to get this scanner to work out of Win 2000 RC1. It shows up as hardware here, but there is no way to control it, everytime I try to use it, it says that it's being accessed by another program, and the scanner can't be found.

3COM USR USB ISDN TA

cflooren
Who can tell me if the 3COM U. S. Robotics USB ISDN TA is working under w2k ? There seems to be a driver at the 3OM section, but I want to know sure that it works, before I buy one of these. This TA can be connected through USB and Serial.

Disk Defragmenting...

Blake Bowden
Okay, first off I have ran the Disk Defragmenter that comes with Windows 2000 pro 2114, but I was wondering if there was any alternatives out there? I'am afraid that if I use a disk defragmentor that's designed for NT, it won't work with my Fat 32 drivers, and Norton utilities 2000 won't install on 2000.

Voodoo2 Question

Peter172
Hello, I have a single creative labs 12meg v2 in my system, with latest 3dfx reference drivers installed in win98 and in winNT4 (service pack 5). I believe something is configured wrong, however. In Quake2, 800x600, I get 90 fps in win98, but only 70 in winNT.

Viper 550 and D3D

cflooren
I installed Windows 2000 builds 2031, 2072 and 2121. My Viper 550 is recognized correctly, however only with build 2072 direct 3d works. With the last 2121 version it crashes when I want to test it with dxdiag.

just a thought for build 2114 users

JimmyK
u should use build 2072. People should not be using build 2114 unless 2072 just will NOT run for them. Build 2114 is an inbetween rc1 and rc2, its not meant for use as a rc1 os, its meant to be used for testing previous incompatibilitys with 2072, that MAY work with 2114.
