Nvidia drivers for GF and WinMe?

This is a discussion about Nvidia drivers for GF and WinMe? in the Windows Hardware category; I dont know if this is happening only to me but it seems when i install the newest detonator drivers for my Guillemot GF on Windows ME my D3D and OpengGL stops working. The machine locks or it shows nothing on the screen when it runs D3D or OpenGl games.

This may be dumb, but you are using the Win9x and NOT the Win2k/NT Detonators right? WinME is a 9x kernel OS. (Sorry if you already know this)

Hehe, no offense taken mate, yes am using win9x drivers, the drivers install correctly without any problems, but it is only when i try to run for ex. Grand Prix 3 with with D3D acc, the OS locks up. When i try to run Deus Ex in D3D the screen shows nothing... so the problem is hardware acc, but why?

Grab a Voodoo5 and install Beos5.
No More Problems.
F**k Nvidia, F**k Micros**t

Who needs anything else when you have Quake1, Quake2, and for some lucky beta people Quake3 running on the nest OS in the universe?

Did you give it a try?
 
Windows it's just fatware man.
 
if you can find latest articles about Beos in my web page in the files section, Beos Section. Only if Nvidia would support it, like 3dfx, matrox, and ati does, things would be diferent, but remember Nvidia & Microsoft sleep in the same bed now because of the Xbox.
Well...
