HELP!!!

I just re-installed FS:SDOE (Clean) and the patch. I can't get the game to work. It crashes everytime I try to launch a mission. I've tried it with a Bare install, w/ patch 1.5, and also with PP6. No matter what I do the think won't work.

Running on the following system:
AMD Athlon 800TB
256mb SDRAM
V3 3K AGP
SB LIVE! Value
32x Ricoh CDRW/DVD

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The trouble may be the voodoo 3 drivers. This problem has been reported by other voodoo users that have installed the latest drivers.

Try running it in D3D mode. Also, if you have the voodoo 32 bit beta drivers, one of the voodoo users can tell you what you need to do to get this to work.

Yep, could very well be the Voodoo, the absolute best drivers are the 1.4 set, if you realy want to use the most recent (which I have used and uninstaled) then you MUST set your desktop color depth to 32bit, the resolution doesn't matter only the color depth, but believe me, the original drivers are the best. Not using 32bit color means a complete system lock requiring a hard reboot.
