Problem Running Multiple Apps

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Problem Running Multiple Apps

I'm having a problem running multiple blitz applications on a new old pentium II pc I got. I can only seem to run one 3d app at a time windowed. I can run more then 1 in full screen. If I run two apps with:
graphics3d 800,600,16,2 the second one fails.

Any idea what I can do to fix this?

edit: Running windows ME, 23 available gfxmodes, all but 24 say they work in 3d, so maybe a really crap 3d driver?
Or is their anything else I can try?

Upgrading your pc... For less than $200 you can get a bare bones system and merely put your harddrive/floppy into and be on a system that will handle more..

Chances of you using a decent 3d card with a PII is slim, and thus might not allow multiple dx windowed apps running.

I went to the old used computer store, and bought an old 3dfx vodoo2 3000 card, and after a few hours of searching broken links on the web, found a driver that works with me.
And it works! woo woo!
