Hello everyone! Second time in my life i faced situation, in which i don't know where to find answers. It is about Voodoo 4500 agp4x from PowerColor, and Windows 95 OSR 2.5 with usbsupp patch installed (AGP, i440LX+). Directx 7, and Internet Explorer 4 SP1 is also installed, because driver required it. So, the problem is in Direct3D when usbsupp installed. It just freezes system. OpenGL/miniGL & Glide are just fine. If i uninstall usbsupp, things go ok with D3D render. In DX7 dxdiag shown that no agp support available. I've heard that it's ok about Voodoos....But! There were never such strange things with other Graphics cards. TNT 1, Matrox Millennium II, GF2. This problem presents on Asus P2B & P3B-F, both i440BX. On Cusl2-C i815 everything is fine with Windows 95 OSR 2.5+usbsupp. It is only about Windows 95 OSR 2.5 with usb/agp supp installed on 440BX Asus boards. Windows 98 RTM/SE/Me Works fine in D3D with 440BX boards.

I was thinking about my post, and realized, that i didn't test any agpx4 cards in 440BX boards with 95 OSR 2.5. Tomorrow i'll try. As alway, no prpblems with later 9x system. In my childhood/schoolhood this Vodood4 was working with ME, and os installed all chipset drivers on ASUS P3B-F by itself. USB, AGP and all the others.

If 98 works, personally, I'd go with the flow and use 98. Cut it down with one of the many cut-down tools if you must.

Things I built:
Mechwarrior 2 installer for Windows 10/11 Re: A comprehensive guide to install and play MechWarrior 2 on new versions on Windows.
Dos+Windows 3.11 auto-install iso template (for vmware)
Script to backup Win9x\ME drivers from a working install

Yesterday i remembered that just for fun installed 95C/usb on Coppermine 1.0/133 on i815, with GF2u. Everything worked fine. I decided to put Voodoo 4500. And very strange, no freezing in d3d. Then i decided to test agp 4x in 440bx agp 2x board, and Gf2, GF2 MX200 all works fine. So as result, what do we have. If usb patch installed, Vodood4 freezes in 440bx with 95c in d3d. Glide/OpenGL is ok. If i uninstall usb/agp patch, d3d is working. Also i found this link.

Help (again) with ASUS P3B-F and AGP Video Cards
