halflife/tfc runs good but very dark
i got everything to run great on win2000 and it is the best op sys i have used yet. the only problem so far is hl/teamfortress classic is very dark even with the monitor brightness and contrast all the way up.
i got everything to run great on win2000 and it is the best op sys i have used yet. the only problem so far is hl/teamfortress classic is very dark even with the monitor brightness and contrast all the way up. i have tried it in 3dfx and gl and it says my card doesnt support open gl mode but i know it does and it works due to the fact it runs gl screensavers. it also says it doesnt support open gl on millennium too but runs fine with 3dfx. i have tried all the resources i know of. i know it would be easy to boot back and forth when i want to play tfc. but i feel win 2000 is a far better op sys and in the feature would like to run it by its self or maybe with linex also i couldnt get the disk to install 3dfx tools or do anything for that matter and i cannot find 3dfx tools for win2k

this could be because of many things.. [/obvious]
one thing that stands out at me is the difference in resolutions.
if you have a digital monitor, chances are it'll remember settings for many resolutions.
try running half life in 1024x768, if that doesnt work, then go into advanced options in display properties (windows) and you should have some gamma options.

Yeah, the Voodoo 3 3000s tend to run dark in open gl. Under 3dfx Tools crank up the brightness in open gl, and try hl again. Play around with the settings until you like the look.
Also, if your monitor is a dark one, you might just want to get a new one.

I forgot to mention you might also want to get the latest drivers for your Voodoo. Dont forget to install the 3dfx tools!
problem repaired thanks
