Article ID: 186578 - Last Review: February 22, 2007 - Revision: 2.2 Hardware Acceleration Does Not Work with 3DFX AdapterThis article was previously published under Q186578 If this article does not describe your hardware-related issue, please see the following Microsoft Web site to view more articles about hardware: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/w98?sid=460
(http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.microsoft.com%2fdefault.aspx%2fw98%3fsid%3d460)
SYMPTOMS
After you perform a clean install of Windows 98 (by installing to an empty
hard disk or a new folder), you may be unable to use the hardware
acceleration features of your 3DFX adapter.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Windows 98 does not provide Glide drivers.
Programs that are written to utilize the 3DFX chip set may require
additional support from Glide drivers to work correctly.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, download and then install the latest 3DFX Glide
drivers (Getvgr.exe) from your 3DFX adapter manufacturer's Web site.
