Go to #win2000 on EFNET. They supposedly have a reference driver from some obscure place that gives both OpenGL and D3D support. Otherwise, no D3D for TNT2.

OP
oddly 'nuff...
i installed asus's tnt driver for win2k and it works in d3d. I've been playing Homeworld beta with opengl and d3d.
d3d in halflife sucks.. but opengl is fine.
quake3 is rox'n too
 
i can check more if ppl like...

The best combo for a Creative TNT2 card on Win2k RC1 right now is to use the driver supplied with Win2k, and the OpenGL patch available (because OpengGL don't work with the supplied driver)
 
A) To use the Win2k driver on your Creative TNT2 card, install it manually. Use the device manager to update driver, and select to choose from list. Select Nvidia and TNT2.
 
Install the OpenGl patch.
 
The OpenGL patch is found on http://www.mswin2k.net under files. Note that the TNT2 Win2k driver available there is older than the one supplied with Win2k. Read their instructions.
