OK. Here is a question for y'all. My brother has a comp that is five years old. I'm not sure if the video card he has in it was put in there when the comp was built or if it was added later. He has a Voodoo card that was made before they got bought out by nVidia. He put XP Pro on there and he says it's giving him trouble. Is there something about 3dFX that XP does not support. He had ME on there before and said it worked ok. Took me forever to get him to put XP Pro on there. What issues, if any would he have with this video card in XP and how could one go about fixing those issues? I can make a more complete post on specs and exactly what kind of card he has in there on Sat. Any help is greatly thanked a thousand times over. Bang Head

Not sure if those drivers would be included in XP. I would find out exactly which card it is and do a google for them. I'm sure there are others out there in similiar situation.

You could also check out www.voodoofiles.com I am sure they would have the drivers for you.

Did you go to 3dfx website to download the right driver to support Windows XP?
