Tribes 2, Directx 8, Voodoo 3 problems

Ive just been reading a few bits of posts about ppl complaining about Blue screens on the way into Tribes 2.

Well there is an incompatibility with DirectX 8 and the Voodoo3 Chipset.

If you are running Windows 2000 There is a patch you can get

but if you are running Windows 98
then the only way in which u can fix this is:

Step 1: Download DirectX uninstaller

Uninstall Directx 8

Step 2: Install DirectX 7
You should be able to find this somewhere on the internet, OR on a Cover cd from anywhere in the last 2 months.

Basically You have to remove version 8 and put back version 7

I hope it helps.
