    System will no longer boot

    Hello, Thanks for you reply. Yes, I can confirm I am not using Cable Select. I have the 19 GB drive configured as Master, and the 40 GB configured as slave. As proof of this, when I remove either ribbon connection from either drive, the other one shows up in the BIOS. If I remove the slave...

    Guillemot 3DProphet TV-out does not work with new 14.10 drivers

    Hello, Does anyone else still have this card, the Guillemot 3DProphet GeForce 256 with TV-out? I just installed the new 14.10 drivers for Windows 2000 dated August 2001 and the TV-out function is now greyed out. No amount of clicking the refresh button will make it find the TV-out. I know it...
