Sorry for my ignorance but I've not been to this forum for a while and don't have the time to trawl through the archives looking to see if my question's been answered but: Fresh install Win2K Pro 2195, install current v3 win2k retail drivers from 3dfx webby, v1.0.0, yet I am unable to change anything related to direct 3d, though direct 3d obviously works because I can run the direct 3d tests in dxdiag. Why is this option disabled in the v3 control panel. I also use a little utility called v3oc to disable vsync, but I can't for d3d because it's disabled in the property page for this also.
 
Any ideas? Thanks for your time, Mark.

I think this is a left out by 3dfx, as their initial release is all out of rush there are many unpolished touch in this set of driver.
 
They havent even provide option menu to define the monitor profile (so as to control refresh rates in different resolutions) in the driver properties.
 
Their OpenGL driver in W2k is marked as a BETA release.
 
The V3OC you mentioned is not working properly in 3dfx W2k V3 driver either, the V3OC tab within the V3 driver page keep disappearing on every reboot.
