Well since your using ACPI and an Athlon I would recommend getting the latest bios. If that doesn't work....switch to Standard and see how that goes.

I'd actually go for DX8NTENG.EXE as win2k already has DX7 For those of you who are win98 people, DX80ENG.exe. I don't really to be honest recommend either. 6.71 and 10.2 MB are the filesizes for each, respectfully.

Yeah, just a typo on my behalf too!
 
It's crap anyway, don't know what the fuss is all about, personally. It didn't speed up linux at all... Am I on the right forum?

Hey....another problem
 
I have the WDM drivers installed, and the program installed, but it keeps saying that things can't be initialized, and the drivers are being used....but I've just started my computer!
 
WTF is wrong with this?
And does anyone know if this will run on an ATI Xpert XL(98) PCI?

Use the VFW drivers, as far as I know the WDM ones don't work quite right with Windows 2000.
