I was running voodoo 3 beta drivers that worked perfectly fine. then when i used the TV output, i (by accident) switched the output type to Norway or something like that.
 
well my monitor turned off and i couldnt see the screen on my TV. i tried restarting but now the screen on my monitor is stretched out.
 
i have also tried uninstalling the voodoo 3 drivers and 3dfx tools, and nothing has helped. someone please help me out here. thx ahead.

geez man try putting the drivers back in and turning off tv output. Or heck try changing your resolution. Thats very normal that your screen gets all funky as the output to tv resolution is quite different. If you set it to 720 by 5?? something it looks good.
 
If you wnat great tv output for dvd get a hollywood + decoder card

OP
the res was at 800x600 16-bit like it should. i just got it working with the microsoft drivers.
 
but when i go back to the win2k drivers from 3dfx the screen is stretched again. is there any way i can make it so it doesnt do that anymore?
