Problems?

[BigDadday]

Problem ... Just reformated my puter and reinstalled the os but when I go to change the settings from 641 X 480 pixels to 800 X 600 I cannot do it? I have a Voodoo 3dfx card and I installed it now what? BD

Get the driver for the card from here: http://www.voodoofiles.com/category.asp?x=2 and install it. Make sure you install the driver for the card that you have. Any old voodoo driver wont work. It has to be the one for the card.

I have 256,high 16 bit.24 bit , 32 bit and 16 but still cannot slide it over?

 

[BigDadday]

Forgot to mention I have the cd that I need for it as well so I am confused now.

What OS are you using? anything after 98se prolly wont work correctly.

Just install the driver from the cd, BD. I am using a Voodoo 3 3000 on Win Me, and it works ok.

 

[BigDadday]

I have the win me in and the color is fine as I can go to whichever I want but I cannot go to the 800x600 it is stuck at the lower one?

It wont be able to switch without the driver installed. I am using 800x600, 32 bit.

 

[BigDadday]

The driver has to be installed if I have the other color bits doesn't it?

 

[s4]

Not necessarily. I suggest you install it again.

Sorry for repeating myself so much. I should have only posted once in this thread and went on. I now see the errors of my ways and wont do it again.

 

[BigDadday]

uninstalled and reinstalled twice with no luck maybe a hammer will do it.

You might try going to 800x600 in 256 colors first and then try increasing the colors from there. See if it will even do 800x600 with few colors. I had a card that would only do 800x600 in 24 bit.

 

[BigDadday]

It moves in 16 but when I resatart it no go as it shows 256 and the same old ones?? Any more ideas as that was a good one.

 

[BigDadday]

This did show this pixel before and I should have just imaged the darn drive but I threa a new one in and never did just went and installed.

 

[BigDadday]

Doing another reformat and hope it works. W98se this time!

make sure the monitor has the current drivers also.

 

[s4]

Good point, Gonz. I forgot about that.

 

[BigDadday]

I tried a reformat to no avail and just did a copy of the hard drive I replaced as I wanted to do a fresh install but this works fine so I'm happy now. Thnx all!
