Voodoo 5

[Hiro]

I HATE IT ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH...

okay heres my problem....for some reason the drivers keep un-installing *points to my dad* Example: I turn on my cpu and the montor is just black...I switch the back with the videocard that came with the cpu *cant remove it its in the motherboard* and the screen works except the videocard sucks so I cant play any games! so today I tried to reinstall them and it said. ........

No more files

or somthing like that....I was getting this from the DISK!!!!

I mean wtf...I just wanna use the DAMN Card! I wanna play ESF....without rebooting my computer!!! cause that'll really blow!!!!

[Hibiki]

The sad thing is that it is a powerfull card, even by todays standards. :\

Ok im a little bit of a hardware nut and have had the same prob with an old voodoo3 POS that my bro had in his machine.

Step1:- Boot up with the graphics card that works.
Step2:- Go to device manager and uninstall the crad put backe to VGA card.
Step3:- Reboot the computer let computer install the deafaut drivers (only have support for 3dFX)
Step4:- Go to a site like VoodooFiles and download beta/3rd Party drivers.
Step5:- Reboot and SMILE

i hold no responsiblity to what happens to your computer i have recommend these steps from my past experience and may not hav the desired results on your machine, but they should work and your card wont blow up!
