- Troubleshooting
- ---------------
- Problem: After installing this driver, the Control panel applet I had
- for a Voodoo Graphics card is gone.
-
- Resolution: The Voodoo2 drivers will uninstall *ANY* Voodoo Graphics
- drivers. This is to ensure only Voodoo2 drivers are on the system.
-
-
- Problem: After upgrading Voodoo Graphics to Voodoo2, old Glide games
- that worked before are not working now.
-
- Resolution: Make Voodoo2 backwards compatable with Voodoo Graphics by
- adding environment variables with V2-auto.inf. Using Windows Explore
- and find V2-auto.inf in directory were zip file was extracted. Right
- click V2-auto.inf and select Install from pop-up menu. Reboot system.
- This will update the Autoexec.bat file with environment variables.
- Uninstall will not remove the lines from Autoexec.bat
