Ack! Ok so I recently reinstalled w2k, then installed the service pack, updated the 4-1's, installed the compatibility fix, and then tried to reinstall my Radeon with the drivers off the CD. Well it didnt work. In fact it crashes even before i get into windows, well, i get a blue background, a pointer, and then it freezes. I tried the beta drivers from rage3d, but they produced similar results. Does anyone have any ideas?

The Box
Athlon Classic
Abit k7v
128 Mushkin
20G diamondmax
generic sound
generic nic
Radeon 64 ViVo

Yes I know this might belong in Video, but hey im desperate

Try this....go into your startup folder and disable any ATIPOLAB(something like that)and ATIGART(I believe). This will force Windows to use the VIA AGP drivers, and not the ATI. Hope it helps. Let me know.
