Once you have done these you should be done with the registry removal part of this, the last part that remains is to remove the driver files themselves. To do that, do the following:

1. Open windows explorer by right clicking the 'My Computer' icon and selecting 'Explore'.
2. Click on 'View' from the menu choices at the top and select either 'Options' or 'Folder options' depending on if you have Internet Explorer 3.x or 4.X installed (Win 98 comes with IE 4.x, 95 with IE 3.x)
3. Select the View tab if necessary and make sure that the 'Show all files' section is checked and that the 'Hide file extensions for known file types' box is Unchecked.
4. Then hit OK to apply the changes.
5. Now click on Tools from this same menu and go to Find-files or folders.
6. In this box, the 'Look in' section needs to say C:\ (or what ever your windows directory is in) and the Include subfolders checkbox is checked.
7. Then type in the named box: 3dfx*.* and hit find now.
· Delete any files in the x:\windows\ ; x:\windows\system\ ; x:\windows\inf ; x:\windows\inf\other\ ; x:\windows\help directories. (where x:\ is the Drive the windows folder is located in).
· Also delete the 3DFX folder found under C:\program files
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the following as well: Glide*.* and Voodoo*.*

This should finish removal of all V3 drivers and registry entries. At this point if you have ever owned a Voodoo Graphics, Voodoo II, or Voodoo Banshee from another company, I would also recommend calling them and having them walk you through the same for their cards as well BEFORE re-installing the new drivers. If you do not, you may have to go through this process again to remove the remaining problems. Also download the Delv.inf file.

Right click on this file and select install and this will complete the removal of any Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo II drivers and registry entries. This does not need to be applied if you had the Voodoo Banshee cards as the Delv.inf file is only for the Voodoo 1 & 2 cards.

Once you are done with all this, simply re-install the new drivers and the problem should be gone! Hope this helps... I removed a v3 3500 and did it this way...and have NO problems whatsoever !! this will save u from reinstalling windows !
