Has anyone had problems with compatibility issues. I'm working ona computer that is running WinME, has Office XP and a legacy 3dfx card. Whenever I open and Excel spreadsheet an error comes up about the 3dfx driver. Anyone hear anything about this?? Any help or suggestions would be great.
My own suggestion is to replace the video card, but it worked before. It is also giving the guy problems while playing Ages of Emperors.
BTW, I should mention that I upgraded the motherboard,CPU and RAM. AMD 1.3 with 512MB RAM.

You could try the updated 3dfx drivers from Voodoofiles.com which has copies of all the last released drivers before 3dfx went out business. Also that site might have some information on this type of problem.
