install the driver through device manager, right click on your card - properties, then re-install driver
I have managed to download drivers from Dell website, but once ive installed em it asks me to insert Voodoo 3 installation CD to complete process. Im runnin Windows 98. Will try n download em from Voodoo website instead. Cheers evry1, let u kno how i get on.
Downloaded it & installed it, but after restart it warns straight away that video card is not installed properly. Agggh.:spangled: Nemore suggestions? I dunno what to try next.
i've got a voodoo 3 - had to download the XP Drivers. the file u download should be an .exe so it should install everything u need. The one from the Dell site must be the specific 'restore' cd u get with pre-built machines from the 'bigger' companies.
Ok, ive accepted the fact that ive screwed my PC. So, im reccon im just gunna buy a new video card, any suggestions? Whats the latest fastest kickass card? That wont cost a bomb.
before you do that, try this: - remove the actual card from the pc (turn it off first though....obviously) - reboot fully. - shut down again and put the card back in when you start windows again it will say new hardware found, and it should find the driver you have installed. I had the exact same problem with my modem ages ago, and thats how i fixed it. worth a shot.
Why don't you get windows xp instead of buying a graphics card. It's very likley that yr voodoo will run fine on xp (you will need atleast 256mb of ram and a 700mhz processor).
