Video Card claims it won't support?

[MageFire]

I am using a Voodoo 3 3500 TV video card. However, when I try to use Smoke, it tells me that my video card won't support 32 bit color, even though my computer itself runs in 32 bit. It tells me to try it in 16 bit, which DOES work, but I have to set my entire computer display back to 16 bit color. The rest of my system is Windows XP, 750MHz Athlon, 320K Ram, Hercules Fortissimo II sound card...

What does ryans other plugin milkdrop do? Normally similar errors.
Can you post the debug file with and without 32 bit?

Have you new XP drivers for the voddoo3 or are you using the orginal ones with XP.

MilkDrop Error

I have updated drivers for my video card, and for some reason smoke now runs, but milkdrop has errors. it comes up with "error rendering offscreen textures. Not enough video memory" (or something to that effect) and then freezes. I have the debug file for it, but this forum tells me its too big to post. If anyone will help me, I'd be more than happy to email the debug to someone. please help, I ahve tried changin all the settings and have no luck getting this to work.

mail it me and I will have a look.

but first delete the m_debug file and re-run milkdrop to recreate it.

Actually that may be a lost cause.

We ahve this problem already I fear:

Ok, sorry, didn't see the second post before I emailed the debug. The driver I am currently using was obtained through voodoofiles. Thanks anyway for your help

Well, it isn't a software problem. The Voodoo 3 doesn't support 32-bit rendering in anything but 2d. 3d is 16-bit only.
