hi were can someone get a winxp driver for voodoo 3500 tv? I went to voodoofiles.com but the 3rd party files they call drivers mess up the system. They only allow me to have 4 bit colour. I think I am installing it right. I try to run advanced gametutorials.com opengl tutorials and can''t. I also can''t play jediknight2, Return to wolf and elite force. Elite force worked when I used win98 so i believe its the driver I have that is the problem. Also the people that use voodoofiles don''t seem to be helpful. Most of the messages are not replied to. Thanks

Do the ones that came with the card not work?

Anyways, WinXP should have automatically loaded drivers for it when you installed it.

When I got the card winxp wasn''t out, it was win98. 3dfx went out of business so there not making drivers.

Exactly... WinXP was made after your card, so it should come with drivers for it.

So if it isn'' t the driver why isn'' t jedi knight2 working? Also Why can''t I run advanced gameturials.com opengl tutorials like the newest one?

go and find your main program file. and I don''t mean the shortcut, look for the .exe file that actually runs your games.
Right click on that .exe file and click on properties.
Go through the properties to where you can have it emulate Windows 98 while running the program.
See if that works, I know it''s worked for a few of my friends so far.

Win2K drivers should work decently, if not perfectly. Even NT4 drivers should be ok...try installing teh latest NT kernel drivers. There must still be old downloads...
