VIA 2.8 drivers,GTS2 Pro 1080 drives,M$ AGP hotfix,DX8A,All other drivers up to date. I get desktop dumps in every D3D game I own and everthing else including OpenGL run fine. I've tried reinstalling everything twice but its not helping. I can't even install 3DMark2001 because at the end of the install it says It can't run D3D emulator. What is going on? Only twice did B&W and Giants run and I had 3DMark run a couple of times(score1300) but uninstalled it see if it was a bad install. I can't use SP1 because it renders my HHD useless. Any suggestions? I tried different Geforce drivers but the latest 1200 version won't even install because the M$ wizard says the file has no info on my Vid card. Please help! Thanks in advance!

there's the newest VIA 4 in 1 drivers you can use (4.29)...they seem to be working well for me, especially in the IDE drivers (previous 4in1 didn't work w/ my burner in win2k). On my GF2 pro i'm using the 11.01 drivers under win2k, and they work fine on all my games D3D. I've also used the 6.50 official reference drivers and they worked fine. One difference tho, is that I do have SP1 installed...anyways try those drivers and good luck to ya
