nhl2001 + win98

[Tintivilo]

i was running win2k + nhl2001, said my hd was full when i tried to start a season, tried winme, crashes like crazy on my machine at various times although nhl2001 runs AWESOME at 1024x768 at highest detail, i put win98 on my machine, win98 runs fine, hasnt crashed yet(i know.. i know it will ;D), BUT when i run nhl2001 now it appears to be running in software mode, its alot grainier then usual and its a hell of alot slower then when i ran it on winme/win2k. is there a way to force it into gl/direct3d mode from the command line or any registry edit?

my system:
abit ka7-100
amd athlon classic 1ghz@1ghz
256mb crucial pc133 ram
ibm deskstar gxp 30gb hd
elsa gladiac geforce gts 2 32mb ddr
creative encore pc-dvd 12x

There is a file, 3dsetup.exe I believe, in one of the directories under the main NHL2001 directory. As a possible solution, run that file and make sure that your GeForce2 video card is selected under display method, although it should have picked Direct3D rendering by default. I don't have the game, but I played the demo and this is what I remember (similar to other EA games). I think this can also be accessed from the NHL2001 program group that was created when you installed the game.

yah i tried that, all there is , is a drop down menu with my geforce selected, and a resolution drop down, nothing to change rendering
