Well, I messed up bad somehow. Tried to get glide and have a Gforce. On win ME with a good fast Asus/Duron setup.
Cake and eat it too, right?
I tried to get the drivers in from the old CD, but something went wrong. "A file that is newer is on your computer..." etc. I answered "Yes" to everything. I think that I may have created a hybrid with the V3 and V5 drivers that were already there? Should have cleaned house first, to be sure.
I can't remove the V2 in display properties,it just won't go; disabling of the start menu, etc. follows if I try. And then I get a lockout of the start menu etc, and have to reboot. The display box, (rt click desktop) is gone if the V2 is in the PCI slot!
I tried removing the drivers, but they dont show in Add/Remove programs, and if there, I can't find them.
Removing the card will let the computer work ok, but if you right click the desk to get to display I get an error: "Diamond monster 3D not found." If I hit ok after that, it will open and showthe properties for the Gforce.
I have not seen the V2 alongside the Geforce in device manager at any time, though it appears below next to the sound card in "sound, video, and other devices."
I hope some of this makes sense, because I sure am baffled! Oh well.
And I thought this setup would be a snap. Ha!
I just hope I don't have to reformat or something to clean up the mess. I just checked, and it wasn't installed next to the AGP slot.
Thanks,
hans
PS: I tried editing out everything "Voodoo,Glide, and 3DFX" in regedit, and found and deleted all of those named files after that, then tried again, but same deal.
