I can't see anything while the game runs!

[civet]

I have a pentium II, with FireGL1000 Pro cards, Monster II 3d card, but when I run combat mission, I don't see anything but my desktop. Something is happening, the program is running, but I just don't see anything. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The very first time you started up CM what did you see on the screen ? You should have seen a black screen with a white (approx. white) outline box and text indicating the resolution and refresh rate and possibly whether it was a "primary display" or something else. Your selection here is what CM uses to display the actual game (I'm guessing that the primary display is used for the initial menu screens).

This is the latest driver from Diamond/S3 for the Fire GL 1000. I can't find out how good the DirectX support is on this driver. Anyway, you may have this driver already.

Fire GL 1000 Win9x driver:

These are the latest drivers for the Monster II 3D:

This is the latest driver from 3dfx that supports the Voodoo 2's. I would suggest trying the Diamond driver first and keeping an installable copy of your current drivers before trying either of these drivers:

3dfx Voodoo 2 drivers:

The Voodoo 2's will not support transparencies (if I remember correctly), so your smoke and some explosions will appear "blocky" if you attempt to use "high-quality" (Shift+I).

For CM I believe you may need to use the Monster II as your display. To reselect your video card delete the CM prefs file in the C:\PROGRAM FILES\CMBO directory. You will get the chance to select the resolution and display adapter again.
