Voodoo & Banshee
I reinstalled Windows2000 and now Im having problems with my screen resolution and screen size.
I only have 16 bit colour. The above video cards display "the device cannot start code10).
The video cards are also displaying exclamation marks in the device manager. Which one should I use?
Or is it both?
Please help me sort this out before I go crazy......lol.
Thanks
Cessnock

A Banshee is a Voodoo 2 cored video card that has 2D ability. It's the succesor to the Voodoo Rush chipset, which was a Voodoo 1 cored with another company's 2D chipset. Those were plagued with issues, so the Banshee was created, much in the same way, and still had issues. What sort of Voodoo card is the other one? The Voodoo 1 and 2 are both add in cards, meaning you need another GPU to support 2D, and then the Voodoo is used for 3D apps only. If you have a Voodoo 3 - 5 (any flavor) level card, it handles both 3D and 2D and have less issues. Anyways, 3dFX went out of business, as we all know , and drivers are no longer up to date.
This might be a driver problem, and which drivers are you using? Since finding new drivers is a near impossaible task, look here: http://www.3dfxzone.it/index.php It is in Italian, but there is some english, and those guys have screen shots of recent games, runnig on Voodoo 5 hardware.

Before/duing/right after the post screen pops up, you need to hit a key that your motherboard will usually list on the post screen to get into the bios. On my Abit board, I use the Delete key. The only thing you can configure in the bios is whether you want it to use a PCI or AGP card at start up, and you can also change the properties of how the bios will interact with the card. That where you choose your AGP aperature size and AGP speeds and such. You can't install drivers in the bios, for that you need to use the OS. Drivers are just software that makes the video card work. Which drivers are you using? It could just be that the drivers you have are too old or you could be using something that isn't compatible.
