Hi,
I have a diamond monster voodoo2 card installed w/ updated
drivers on win2k. It is running through an ATI 3D Rage II+ PCI card.
I just recently install directX 8.1 but it doesn't recognize the voodoo2.
It only lists the ATI card on the display page in dxdiag.
Anyone know how to get directX to recognize the voodoo2
card?

I'm an idiot...

I think you can only use OpenGL/Glide in Win2K with V2. Not 100% sure though. Plus...why would you want to use DirectX 8 with a V2?

The max payne readme only lists voodoo 3/4/5 as officially supported. Your gonna have to get a new gfx card soon though anyway, what with 3dfx gone
