My system: Pentium 233mmx 64 Mb EDO Ram 4.3 Gb Harddrive ultra dma 33 Diamond Edge 4Mb video card Diamond Monster 3D2 Voodoo2 8Mb card Guillemot/ubisoft maxisound gametheater 64 soundcard I have now tried to install Unreal several times (bothwith and without Directx5, of which I already had a version, running with Quake2, for instance). Every time I go to launch for the first time, the log comes onscreen and appears to be loading the game. I get asked whether I have a 3DFX card, and I get told that Voodoo Rush doesn�t work. Then, as the game is about to start, I see, for a split second, an attempt to open a window and then the screen goes black and NOTHING further happens. In fact, none of the keys work (escape, windows, etc) and I have to �ctl+alt+del� to close the game and usually I have to reboot to regain control of my system. I have many 3DFX-accelerated games (Quake1 and 2, Hexen2, Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, Turok, etc) and all worked fine in 800x600 full-screen, 3DFX accelerated mode. Now, when I want to start Quake2, I get the following message: _GlideInit Environment: glide2x.dll expected Voodoo^2, none detected when I click on OK, I get: grSstSelect: non-existent SST Would you have any idea what�s going on here and how I get my computer back? I�m just about ready to give the Unreal CD away, as long as I can keep Quake2 working properly� Now, nothing related to the Voodoo card works, even the Diamond mini-icon in my taskbar, which brings up the display properties, generates the above error-message� I have removed and re-installed the card, with the latest drivers (the Monster ones ). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Patrick e-mail: pvan...@earthlink.net
