Troubleshooting Voodoo2
-------------------------------
####
Q: I have an S3 968/868 video card, why does my system lock
up when I run a Glide or Direct3D title.
A: S3 968 and 868 chipsets may misreport the mapped memory used.
There is a chance that your Voodoo2 card will be assigned by
Plug and Play a memory range that is used by the S3 card, but
not reported. The Voodoo2 card can be relocated by:
Windows NT Users: An NT service called NTREMAP is
installed when Glide is added to an NT system.
NTREMAP can change the memory address of a Voodoo2
board and prevent a conflict with an S3 card.
To use NTREMAP, add the following registry values to:
\HKLM\Software\3Dfx Interactive\NTRemap
Value Name Type Value
---------- ---- -----
EnableNTRemap DWORD 1 (HEX)
ForceAddress DWORD 12000000 (HEX)
The Force Address setting will vary, in this example
0x12000000 is used. This is normally free on most
systems.
NOTE: If you use an address that over-writes another
device, Windows NT may not boot. If such a problem
occurs, power off the system and remove your Voodoo2.
Alter the registry to use a different memory range
(or remove the ForceAddress setting). Then Reinstall
the Voodoo2 card into your system.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
