I have an old Diamond Voodoo 2 card (ok I know this is old and obsolete, dont need to say I have to buy a new one). I had windows 2000 Pro and it was working fine with 3DFX beta drivers. But then I migrated to Windows XP, and installed the NT Compatible drivers, and my voodoo stoped working. When I run quake or quake 2 (wich uses GLIDE)and it doesnt work. Then I uninstalled all NTcompatible drivers, and now Windows XP is NOT detecting my card anymore. Plug and play detection doesnt find it. What should I do? Windows 2000 Pro used to detect it fine, without any problems.

I think you need a newer graphics card, or go back to 2K. Voodoo2's a dinosaur, let it rest in piece.

That's better than I can do. I still have two 12meg Diamond voodoo2, and the sli cable, but can't get it to work with Winme/98/NT. When I pull up the video control panel, the system locks up no matter if I'm using just one card or both.

So, I moved to a Geforce2...
