Umm, I think this problem is not related to the problem discussed in other thread so..
I've voodoo3 3000, win2k, and original copy (naturally) of fifa. Using the glide drivers game works ok, but I've to settle for 640x480 resolution (which I don't want to). Using the "Voodoo 3" drivers (which are the d3d drivers I suppose) the game works ok, until the actual match is starting up. Before the 3d-"world" pops up, fifa kicks me back to desktop! It's soo annoying. At first it did this occasionally, but not always. I updated fifa, directx (to 8) and the v3 drivers, and it began to kick me to desktop every time.. =( Glide works ok.. So how can I get better reso with glide ? Or how can I get the other drivers to work ?? Any suggestions ?

R U sure Fifa2001 works with win2k? It doesn't say it does on the box and if I remember Fifa/Euro 2000 only worked at 640x480 res when I ran them using win2k, (TNT2 Riva). Hence I'm back with win98.

Yes, I'm quite sure it should work ok hence the manual states that "it should work fine, no bugs etc. noticed" And it worked ok with the v3 drivers when I first installed it. Only you couldn't play two games in a row, but that's another topic altogether.. maybe.
However, it still works "fine" with the glide drivers, but I can't get the reso higher than 640x480.. darn.. This is really frustrating as you can imagine.. Can the glide reso be tweaked editing the 3dsetup.ini file ? I can only find resolutions which are fixed to specific cards, not for example glide or d3d..

I also have the same problem with my Voodoo 3 2000 AGP under Windows 2000. When I change resolution on 3dfx driver it crashes back to Windows desktop. I can only play with Glide 640x480. No other resolution is available for Glide.
