sorry my mistake...

What kind of Banshee card do you have? If you have a Creative Labs card, then you can find some older drivers here

I have Creative 3D Blaster Banshee and I tried to download their driver from the net and installed it. It showed the health and mana and the bar that indicate the selected resolution and otehr selections in the option menu. But teh ground disappears a certain distance away from the main character. I tried to turn off detailed textures, descrease resoltuion, etc. but nothing works. At least with the 1.04.00 driver I can play the game albeit a bit annoying to not knowing the health of my creatures and the wizard...

I downloaded the first Driver updade for voodoo 3 ever put out, it wasnt a 14.00 or anyting, wqas like .01 or something like that. I can see all the way to the horizon, ground and all, and have health and mana bars with vidio card downgraded like this. Kind of annoying though, as to play another one of my games, i have to reinstall one of the newer voodoo 3 drivers to play it well. So i have to switch back and forth between drivers to play both games.

i got some generic type banshee card... and with both the lastest (1.04.00) and the one that black and white likes (1.03.40) all the ground textures and stuff are ok (except for something i'll add in a mo), but no mana/health bars... with the drivers on the cd, the ground and stuff is missing...

when i say that the ground textures are ok except for something, the something is a problem i have encountered on both my computers. apparantly p3beta uses some sorta new detailed texturing system that uses less lights or something, so that ground furthur away isnt detailed as much as close up. on both my computer this causes a graphical glitch that makes the area where the detailed becomes less detailed very jaggedy with like no transition stage...

the only thing wrong on my banshee (apart from that detailed texture thing, that should hopefully be being fixed) is the lack of mana and health bars

Anyhoo...
