i just installed a creative labs geforce 2 gts card... the annihilator 2 model. i can't get everquest to run now.

i've tried using the detonator 3 drivers (which are recommended). i've tried using the standard drivers that come with the disc and also the updated ones on the CL site.

each time i install the drivers i unstall all prior drivers.

afterwards i reinstall dx8a.

i've reinstalled the game even. i'm getting a black screen and lock up after i hit the server screen (if any of you play)

what i think the problem might be, is left over 3dfx files. i uninstalled them all, but i still found many files left over. the place where my comp is freezing is where i used to have the 3dfx splash screen, so that is why i believe the old files are the problem.

so, what can i do now? thoughts? i really dont want to resort to good o'l reformat.

im running p3 700, 256ram, on cable, mx300 sound card.

Sounds like you need to run regedit and get rid of anything that has to do with your old 3dfx card

tried that. under all the software folders i went to any thing related to 3dfx and removed them all. i've booted in safe mode and deleted the existing drivers. also gone into windows/system and removed anything that had 3dfx or voodoo in it. Though, i could only remove obvious files.

You're gonna hate it but we all have to do it...sooner or later.

Format C: and reinstall everything. I had to do it with my new Voodoo5-5500 AGP, and now it's yer turn.
