I used to have an amazingly hard time getting 3dfx drivers to _properly_
upgrade themselves. Old driver components would be left sitting around,
and would get loaded. They would then suffer a catastrophic conceptual
difficulty interfacing to the newer driver components, and blow my system
apart. The two solutions I have used in the past are listed below. You
will need to have the local guy do them, since it involves a huge amount of
mucking about with video drivers and rebooting and running in a video mode
that VNC does not support.
Solution 1:
Format system drive, re-install win98, install newest possible 3dfx drivers
as the first drivers.
Solution 2:
Go to video driver details, get all file names you can for components.
Reset video to "Standard VGA"
Manually search and destroy all files related to 3dfx. These include the
names you got earlier and anything else that even looks related. Move them
into some kind of backup directory in case you accidentally nail an
innocent bystander driver...
Sweep through the Registry ruthlessly deleting any key that even looks like
it might have something to do with 3dfx or voodoo.
Check out win.ini and system.ini just to be on the safe side -- comment out
anything suspicious.
Once the system is as Voodoo-free as you think you can possible get it,
re-install from the newest drivers you can find.
Won't guarantee that it will solve your problem, but it has solved several
video-related bugs for me.
