    Unhappy

    Hey there I am from germany , sorry for my language .

    Last week i went in the shop and i bought the 3dfx voodoo TFVM . A week later i had to thought about the time 2002/1st quarter , thats the time when ms whistler should be ready . My thoughts are : " Will be there any driver support for this TV card anymore " . Who gives the support than : " a part of 3dfx " ; " nvidia" ; "ms" ; "nobody". I hope you could help me .

    Thx anyway, greetingz *Fiedel*

    Hey, your english is pretty good actually =). From what I understand, 3dfx will be giving driver support until february and then dissolving it altogether. All future support and driver updates will stop.

    Angry

    In other words means this fact , that my voodooTVFM isnt useable for ms whistler maybe ? In my opinion is there a difference between performance updates and updates for
    workstations . And in "hell" thats not fair from nvidia , i think theํr must be a little support for updating to other workstations; like ms whistler or other in the future . In addition , 100 $ are a "lot" of money , and i want to use this card in the future too. I hope there will be a necessary "minimum" support from "someone" .

    Default

    Well hopefully someone will sit down and create new drivers cause I just bought a voodoo 5 5500 and i'm already finding small bugs. Speaking of which, does anyone know how to fix the problem with delta force land warrior in multiplayer not showing text during start up and during the game? I would really appreciate some help on this.

    Default Whistler drivers

    Windows Whistler (Windows Experience) is based on NT. You can possibly use older NT drivers on it or drivers made for Windows 2000, its a long shot but you might be able to get them to work on it. I had the chance to try it out and its pretty cool looking to
