I have a Geforce running ucer Win2K but on the first time set up it goes a a VGA. So I downloaded the latest drivers from NVidia and set it up but then on reboot for the settings to take effect it boot to a black screen. The only option is to reboot and choose Enable VGA which works fine but the fact is I want my GeForce. Anyone who has one of these will understand why.
Hope someone can help.

Which version of Nvidia Reference Driver are you using? 5.06/5.08/5.02 give me such kind of results.
Be sure you enable Assign IRQ for VGA in your BIOS.

I'm using 3.81. I'm not sure if these are the latest but they were the latest ones I could find.
Please help.

The black screen may be from an unsupported monitor/refresh setting. I had this happen to me when I first migrated to W2K. If you are using a large (like 21") like I was, this may be your problem. To get it to work, I just hooked up my wife's 17", restarted, set the initial display settings, restarted to save everything, shutdown, switch monitors, whoilla!
Latest drivers (beta) are the v5.13 version. I *HIGHLY* recommend them. They just plain kick butt...
Hope this is your problem and it is easy to fix...

PS I also found that the monitor was not autodetected because I was running through a Belkin Monitor/Mouse/Keyboard switchbox. I have since dumped the switcher.
