I thought all the above would have solved this problem, but apparently not, could you adivse on this one please.

Also, how come SDOE only recognises 12mb out of the 16mb on card?

Thanks for any help MH

Yes I thought that aswell about the drivers, so I only installed the drivers from the Voodoo CD Rom rather than their newest beta drivers.

I'll check out the glide dll's though and see whats going on with them.

Thanks MH

I have the same message with my V3 3000. It only seems to recognise 12meg out of 16 no matter what drivers I use. I think maybe SDOE can only support up to 12meg on glide? Don't have quite such a serious problems as yours though. I've just done a reinstall of everything but it didn't solve the voodoo ram. If you can help me as to what those IDirectInput variables are about it would put my mind at rest a little. Why do they always fail??
