technical question regarding Voodoo 3 3500 TV card

[darth vader]

My machine has the Voodoo3 3500 (TV) card installed. Under Win98 we had the 3dfx driver installed and could get a beautiful picture in from the TV aerial - all channels. Upgraded to Windows 2K professional and now no picture. 3dfx went bust = no drivers. Managed to get some WIN2k drivers but all i ever get on my 3dfx tv is a fuzzy picture and it never tunes into any channels. Anyone got the faintest idea what i'm on about and how to fix it? More info. on request if needed

Bad news: I think 3dfx only wrote the beta video card drivers for Windows 2000 (which you have probably downloaded) and the TV application software was probably written for US version of the card (which won't work on the UK card). I found this site: http://www.falconfly.de/voodoo3-3500.htm but I expect you have seen this already. Unless you develop an interest in developing Windows 2000 drivers, I think you may have to upgrade your TV card or go back to Windows 98 (perish the thought). I acquired a TV card sometime ago and that only had Windows 98 drivers which was a shame as the picture was pretty good.

Thanks J2b it was as i thought. Not liking the downgrade to 98 i will put my hand in my pocket for a new tv card.

ps. 2nd hand Voodoo3 3500 TV card (not 2k compatible) going cheap if anyone's interested? :-)

pps. to be able to answer a question like that you are indeed the god of teccie questions and IMHO should now be elevated alongside Quizmonster (phrases and sayings) and Spellmaster (spelling and grammar) to "Guru Josh" level. Darth
