Win2K Pro & games = errors

referenced memoryat "0*00000001".
The memory could not be "read".

This is the message I get with
most of my games, which use to
work OK with Win98.
My graphics adapter is Voodoo3 2000 PCI,
and when starting some games,
W2k recommends me to install drivers for
Win NT.
All ideas are welcome!

Have you tried installing Voodoo3 drivers for Win2K?
Many games will not work in Win2K, especially the older ones. They have to be programed to be compatible with Win2K.
Sorry I can't give you a solid answer as to why they won't, but I don't have much knowledge of Win2K.

Listening, since I'm still looking at Win2K in a box; fearful of the lack of driver support.  Since Win2K is to parallel much of the NT environs, one would logically deduce that NT drivers would work.  Interesting information; we're also considering this Voodoo3 card ... have you been pleased with the card otherwise, or is this your first use of the Voodoo3 card?

Did you not have a dual boot option, by the way, for Win98 and Win2K (for the game support options until the drivers for 2K are updated/certified)?

Thanks,

Asta

Astaec:
yes I have been really pleased
with the Voodoo adapter,
and yes, I´m considering of reinstalling
W98 and using dual-boot :)
Entropy:
thanks for your tips!
I found a place with  
W2k Voodoo Beta drivers,
and they work fine.
He mentioned on the
page too, that 3DFX are working with
w2k drivers and they should
be out very soon.
Check it out:
