Windows 2000 Nvidia drivers

[Xuttah]

Anyone having problems with Detonator W2K drivers? I've just upgraded to W2K, and have a Diamond TNT2 card. The "Micrsoft supplied" driver for the TNT2 card works fine; except that UT and Q3A won't run period. The Nvidia supplied drivers (tried 5.16 and 5.22) don't take. The screen comes up 640x480, and blue screens when I try to go into Control panel->Display.

I'd like to play Q3A, UT, and other games/apps, but they don't play well with Microsoft's TNT2 driver.

Help!!! Thanks!

Try the 5.32's from http://www.reactorcritical.com. I am running a gf2-gts right now with those drivers marvelously. FSAA with a little reg-tweaking and everything.

Had the same problem with my Viper 770 under Win2k...go get the 5.32 drivers and all should be fine...it cured all my problems...for now that is

Try the 532s, I hear nVidia has made progress, and now win2k is as fast or faster than win98.

Yup, just switched to Win2000 from WinMe, myself. My Geforce DDR works like a charm with the 5.32 drivers. I'm still sort of a newbie at this 2000 thing, but so far I like it. I can do everything that I did under 98/Me, and it's MUCH more stable.

Okay, tried the 5.32 Nvidia drivers....same result. Diamond (oops, I guess S3) says W2K is supported and the drivers come with W2K (i.e. the Microsoft-supplied drivers).

Here's my system...maybe I'm overlooking something?

Asus P3V4X (AGP 4x enabled)
PIII 733
128MB HSDRAM
Diamond Viper 770

If I have to stick with the MS drivers, I'm just going to go back to Win98. Ugh....

Thanks for the help.

Try disabling Fast-Writes in the bios, and also try disabling agp 4x(see if 2x helps).
