Hello,
 
I own a Creative 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra and I had no problems with the video card during the Win9x days. I upgraded to Windows 2000 RC3 (build 2183) and since then I can't go beyond the old VGA screen with 16 colors. The moment I want to change my resolution or color, the screen goes black after I press "apply".
 
Do I have to deactivate something in BIOS, could this be a bug? Anything would help. I will try anything for it to work, because the vid card i'm using right now is terrible.
 
My System Specs are as followed:
-Diamond Multimedia Micronics C200 (mainboard)
-AMD K6-2 350 o/c'ed 400
-Soundblaster Live! Platinum (Liveware! 3 not installed)
-3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra (currently running SiS 6326 AGP)
-256 MB RAM PC100 Samsung Ram
 
I appreciate any help!

What TNT drivers are you using?
Are you running at an non-standard FSB - not 66/100/133?
What does "(currently running SiS 6326 AGP)" actually mean? Are you using a non-standard BIOS for the vid card?

Goto seldzar's site and get the new detonator drivers for the TNT2.
 
Should fix it all up

it could possibly be the drivers! best thing to do is fresh install of win2k and install fresh detonator drivers.
