Need help finding a driver please Viper V770 16Meg

[kantonburg]

My cousin's PC has a Diamond Viper V770 16Meg card. Non-Ultra I believe. I've tried installing the nVidia reference drivers from their site but using Win2k pro it keeps telling us that it's a Code 10 (cannont start device)

Can someone point me to the correct drivers for windows 2000 and this card?

Thanks

morning bump

I've tried all three previous versions of the reference drivers from nVidia's site and nothing is working under win2k. Anyone have any ideas? It just keeps saying that it cannot start the card??

Have you tried any 23 or older Detonators? I couldn't get the 30.82s or later to run with an old Elsa 16MB TNT card.

IF you cant find the older drivers for whatever reason I might be able to help. I too once had the Diamond v770 TNT (I believe I ended up flashing the sucker with a Nvida bios ) Anyway, I should have a cd with a Windows 2000 Nvidia driver that once worked with the V770 with the diamond bios. But, if I were in your shoes, just download an old 10/2000 (October 2000) - 12/2000 (December 2000) nvidia driver from that time era and it should do the trick.

Well I can see or at least get to all of their old drivers with this link

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/

Which one's should I try first?

 

[kantonburg]

Well I tried all the way back to 12.41 and nothing seemed to work.

I sent you a driver that I had that is circa fall to winter 2000.
