I tried it too under 2128 (RC2) using DXDIAG.

First D3D test crashed. Second and subsequent runs ran fine.

DirectDraw failed completely - no output whatsoever.

Back to the drawing board...

Tried new nvidia drivers on RC2, D3D works but is buggy in certain games (Odd colours/textures in Unreal, UT failed D3D completely) and OpenGL games (all of them) now 'hang' after a few minutes. Gone back to version 2.0.0 (5.0.1996.200) but of course no D3D support.

Greggy... your descriptions told me the attemp of driver installation didn't take, verify the driver version after new driver is loaded.

Yes! They work great in D3D and DDRAW. I checked both with directx diagnostics and run tests. At least working drivers for RC2

Hrrmn... I have a Dell Precision Workstation 410MT with a STB Velocity 4400. Using the nvidia detonator drivers 3.52, my system locks up hard when trying to test directdraw. With 3.55, directdraw works windowed, but locks in fullscreen mode. I am running build 2128 (RC2). Any help?
