Video Capture Card for Win2k ?

dlever
Is there any entry-level video capture card that absolutely 100% works in Win2k guaranteed ? My Aimslab VExtreme does not - NOR does my new Miro PCTV Rave ( believe me I have tried. . ) All I want to do is hook up my videocam for CU-SeeMe type apps - no TV needed.

Direct3D is DOA (On TNT2)

Hed
My Direct3D worked great after a fresh install of win2k and downloading the nVidia reference drivers (3. 78). Then something happened. I am pretty sure it was right after I did all the Windows Updates (including the MS Compatibility Patch).

S3 Savage 4 (Creative Labs)?

rlculver
I have recently installed Win2k pro and the new reference drivers from S3. My games are stutter (Solider of Fortune) and Unreal Tournament has many lines across the screen (menu screen). I know win2k pro installed S3 Savage 4 drivers on start - up, would it be best to keep to these.

RONIN - Have a question

NOTOYS
Your opinion on the PIIIDME board. . have heard different things about the i8xx series but nothing about problems on the 840 series. . so I'll go ahead and ask I'm doing an upgrade to either the tyan 2257 or the PIIIDM3 version.

Exabyte Eagle Nest ( Int. & Ext. ) & Win NT,2000

jcorredor
I'd like drivers and software for the Eagle Nest IDE but Exabyte doesn't make them anymore. They only work for Win9x. Can't anyone just write new ones or am I stuck with expensive doorstops?? I have the Zip100,LS-120, TR-4 and three HDDs.

devices using the same irq

valiant
Every time I start up win2000 it assign my irq 10 to five different devices (two video-adapters, a soundcard, a tv-card, a network-adapter). It says there are no conflicts but when I try to play any sound or use the network adapter, win2000 stops responding.

Try it Again!!! Win2000

Kyosho46vr
Ok, I have lost my OS several times in 2000 and gave up, went to 98, and said yuk. I havent loaded any drivers other than the ones Windows loaded during install. I found in 98 if I loaded the VIA busmastering driver my data became corrupt in 2-3 days.
