Creative GeForce256 Pro, Everquest and Win2K

Deryk Lister

Hi I just upgraded from a Voodoo3 3000 to a Creative 3D Blaster GeForce 256 Annihilator Pro. I am running Windows 2000 (2195) and have tried both the NVidia drivers and the ASUS ones. Creative don't seem to have their own drivers yet.

VPN (Virtual Private Netowrking) w/ Win2k

Jabba

Never used VPN before, but I see that windows 2000 has both VPN server and client built in. I have my box here setup as a server (i think), how do I get win98 machines to become clients as there is no built in client software? My web searches reveal only 3rd party software VPN clients which are not free or shareware.

Dell is just faking support

Galilee

I have tried the new drivers, but do they really work? I think there is a reason why Creative is still working on their drivers. I must admit, Dell got all the old programs to work, and all four speakers, but where the EAX? In no game I have tried does EAX work.

Allright, I had a clean install of windows 2000 and I have a BE6. For some reason it installs as a standered pc and doesn't install ACPI support. Now when I went to change it there where two options that looked right.

I have been hard at work at a newer. inf with more compatibility and functionality. It appears that Dell had taken Creatives drivers are erased some of the non-used part of the inf file to make it smaller.

I'm Sorry

Ronin

But I guess I'm to picky. All of the fixes and bull**** that we are having to do just to have a half-ass OS are just not for me. I want all my hardware and software to work, not just half of it. Don't get me wrong W2K is great but I have just did my last install of it untill all the driver and program fixes are out.
