Hehe. Unfortunately, 3dfx is dead, in case you didn't know. I'm not sure you will find any. You may want to search for a thread here tho. I'm pretty sure I saw a thread recently about it.
My advice is to get yourself a GeForce 2 MX, MX400, or even a GeForce 2 Pro ($150 with shipping at Newegg.com). Unless some third party does put out XP drivers, you might as well leave your voodoo for a backup card.
This is not MS or Nvidia's fault, it's 3dfx's. Blame them.

oh yeah, i know that 3dfx doesn't exist anymore and how nvidia isn't make drivers for winxp (well for the voodoo series). but i was actually sort of relying on 3rd party or "hacked" drivers. i did find a hacked driver but the game froze up again. it seems as though Madden 2002 requires a beefy video card, no matter. oh well.

yes i did, that's what prompted me to write my original post! just to let you all know, the gameplay is fine. the crashes after a play is over, when the game zooms into players. the actual gameplay is fine, its those dumb cutscenes that come up after a play is over which seems to cause the crash. if there is a way to disable that (couldn't find them in the game options) then that'd be great. i can live w/o the cutscenes.
