Hey guys,
Before I spend too much time troubleshooting, I thought I'd run this by you all and hopefully get some direction. I have trouble running Glide based games or demos on this system:
- Athlon XP 2400+
- nForce2-based Asus Motherboard
- 512MB DDR RAM
- 80GB IDE Hard drive
- Radeon 9600XP AGP card
- Voodoo 2 SLI
- Windows 98SE
When I try to launch Need for Speed SE or Unreal Tournament (the two Glide games I own right now) or any of the demos that come with the drivers, they just hang. No sound, no splash screens. I can use the task manager to close the offending process and return to Windows, but sometimes this results in weirdness in the Windows UI, such as a garbled mouse cursor.
I've tried different drivers (currently running the latest version of FastVoodoo), I've tried disabling SLI, I've tried replacing the Glide2x.dll file in game folders with the one from the driver package, and I've tried underclocking the CPU by setting it to 100MHz FSB. None of this has any effect. What should I try next?
