Where do I get those dll files from?
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi everyone,
I just attempted to play my old quake 3 game and found that it would not load, same with RTCW (another id software game). Need for Speed plays fine.
I Installed Windows XP with SP2 a few weeks ago. But never played it after that.
Prior to this I use to use Windows 2000 Server. It worked fine on that OS.
My Mother board is a Mercury 810e TFSX, integrated Video chip and sound, with a 566 Celeron. Video driver I'm not sure. I dont remember installing one. So I think its the default WinXp one.
How do I sort this out.

DirectX is fine
Try Intel's driver first:

The Mercury™ KOB 810e TFSX has an integrated Intel(R) 82815 Graphics Controller & you should check you have the correct/updated drivers installed for XP before trying anything else - don't rely on those that came with the XP installation. Also be sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed from Microsoft.
If you are sure this is up-to-date and it still doesn't work you could use either one of the OpenGL installers or copy across the older OpenGL drivers for windows to fix the 3DFX error. To do this you need to paste glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll in the system32 folder and glide2x.ovl in the windows directory and then cut opengl32.dll and opengl32.dll.tmp from the windows system32 folder - putting them somewhere safe in case you need to recover them later - it doesn't work in every situation.
Updating your drivers/DirectX should fix this for you though.
