youre going to have to use the cd that came with card to install card, to put in .inf file that has your
card specs in it, into the windows/inf file.
the new drivers wont load without the latest inf already in.
its like trying to load up brand new model monitor thats not in monitor list on "show all hardware"
for example a GF3Ti200 has nv4_disp.inf for Win 2K
and NVAGP.inf for Win 98
