I just clean installed Windows 2000 on my PC and my Nvidia TNT2 Ultra card is extremely unstable.

Cannot install any drivers in Win2k

Julius X
I recently tried to update some of my drivers in Win2000, and discovered that no matter what I tried to do, no drivers would install. Every time I tried to install a driver of any type, I get a Driver could not be installed because a file could not be located or something similar-a file not found error, in gist.

soundblaster awe64 gold

Flatline
I'm using this sound card with win2000 and cubase vst 3. 7 r2. It seems the program can't see the direct sound driver of the sound card. I can use it only with the standard MME driver. I had similar problems with some other music programs using directsound (like tuareg).

JediBaron
After the crappy release of Creative's Dxr3 Win2000 drivers, I was rather discouraged that I would ever get my DVD running outside of the NT4 drivers with beta Hollywood drivers. Well today I finally decided to experiment with them and I figured out how to get them to work.

Dumb Logitech

strider
I guess y'all can add Logitech to the amount of support that one can receive regarding support under Win2000. I submitted two questions regarding the support of the QuickCam Pro USB which I had bought quite a while ago.
