Troubleshooting Voodoo2 ------------------------------- #### Q: I have an S3 968/868 video card, why does my system lock up when I run a Glide or Direct3D title. A: S3 968 and 868 chipsets may misreport the mapped memory used. There is a chance that your Voodoo2 card will be assigned by Plug and Play a memory range that is used by the S3 card, but not reported. The Voodoo2 card can be relocated by: Windows NT Users: An NT service called NTREMAP is installed when Glide is added to an NT system. NTREMAP can change the memory address of a Voodoo2 board and prevent a conflict with an S3 card. To use NTREMAP, add the following registry values to: \HKLM\Software\3Dfx Interactive\NTRemap Value Name Type Value ---------- ---- ----- EnableNTRemap DWORD 1 (HEX) ForceAddress DWORD 12000000 (HEX) The Force Address setting will vary, in this example 0x12000000 is used. This is normally free on most systems. NOTE: If you use an address that over-writes another device, Windows NT may not boot. If such a problem occurs, power off the system and remove your Voodoo2. Alter the registry to use a different memory range (or remove the ForceAddress setting). Then Reinstall the Voodoo2 card into your system.
