355972 2005-05-17 10:29:00 Once Windows (XP Pro) has fully opened I get a Error message that Says "Genport I/O initialization failure". I can X out that window and proceed without any other problems. I would just like to identify this error. Any help/ advise would be appreciated, Cheers Phil. Marshman (7857)

355974 2005-05-17 10:36:00 Sounds like a videocard problem or videocard driver prob..

When does this error appear?? Anytime??

When u boot the computer?? While playing a game?

355975 2005-05-19 09:51:00 Yes I do have a Voodoo 2 (3DFX) video card.This is in my second/old PC that I have upgraded to Win XP Pro, I remember when I did the OS upgrade I had a hell of of problem getting the card installed. I had tried to locate new drivers for the Voodoo 2 but they don't seem to be available anywhere. Can you help me any more please. Marshman (7857)
355976 2005-05-19 10:02:00 a quick google mentioned its a problem when you are useing 3dfx w2k drivers on XP . i think there is some custom 3rd party drivers advaillable . check the 3dfx fanboy sites .

otherwise change os or change video card .
