Tv turner card support windows 2000

Vodka Lime
Which tv-turner card is good for windows 2000? I have an old ATI-TV turner card but ATI released a statement saying that they will no longer provide driver/software for the discountinue. I used the card to do video editing so I want a high resolution turner card to improve the quality.

win2k drivers keep reverting when updated

mrorange
i'm having some trouble up drivers on my fresh installation of win2k pro. when i try to replace the standard MS signed drivers with nvidia's 5. 22 reference drivers (for a TNT2 Ultra), it appears to succeed, but when i let it reboot to install the drivers, i find it has gone back to the MS drivers again.

Gigabyte 6BXD

Does anyone else have a gigabyte 6bxd motherboard? I was just wondering what cpu's people were running in it and what it could actually take. Theres a bios update that says it supports 600mhz p3's which means that it might take any 100mhz bus based p3 but im not sure.

Locks up with some games...

JSB
Got locks up with 2 games. For Deus Ex, when the EIDOS logo cinematic comes up my system suddenly freezes and I have no other choice than to reboot. For Ground Control, it freezes as soon as the menu comes up.

Greggy
In case anyone was wondering: Yes, the MSI 694D Pro-A motherboard (VIA 133A Dual socket 370) runs Windows 2000 perfectly! I have performed many hours of testing Q3A, UT and Counter Strike etc with not one problem.

I've been using a Voodoo 3 for a while now on my Win2k system and before on NT. My dad's NT4W system had a Riva 128 on it before I obtained a Vipper V770 Ultra to stick in it. Here's the problem. . .

Thrustmaster drivers for win2k

Kewli0
Does anyone know if there are any drivers for thrustmaster joysticks for win2k? their website is useless =) I have a topgun thrustmaster joystick which has a POV hat. Win2000 picks the default 4-button joystick, w/ POV but it doesn't let me use or configure the POV hat.

DOScrash
Hey, on an update to my problem and the final solution, what I did was disable EXTERNAL CACHE on my Asus P5A-B motherboard using the Award BIOS version 1010 Beta 2 (although it might work with previous versions).

How long have you been able to keep your Windows running before it crashes with NVidia's drivers? I had over two weeks with Matrox G200 (had to reboot machine to install new software, so it did'n crash) Now with Asus TNT2 longes period is 5 days.
