I have been running the 'Theme Hospital' game made by bullfrog on my windows 95 computer for some time. However, suddenly i couldn't open it. (This program has performed an illegal operation etc.) Clicking 'Details' gives the following emssage:
HOSPITAL caused a general protection fault
in module GDI.exe at 0001:00005fe1.

Theme Hospital requires DirectX- would you like to install it now?
Clicking 'Yes' gives the same 'This program has performed an illegal operation...' etc, but clicking details gives this time the message

HI:what video card did u have?
get the latest drivers for your video card drivers from the factory
HTH.

Cobra: I have been having problems with video cards in the past. I had my colour settings stuck on 16 before I got it sorted. The thing is, I don't really know how I did it. I tried to reinstall the video card but I didn't really know how: I just clicked at things randomly on the video card screen thing and somehow everything worked. How do I reinstall my video card?
My video adapter is 3dfx Voodoo3. How do i reinstall that *properly*?Thanks
PS I am also having trouble going to games sites on the internet eg bonus.com
