Rage IIC and Windows 2000. HELP NEEDED

wwwTHEVIDEOGEEKcom@ntc

Seems w2k doesn't like this AGP card at all. Video is all messed up. Has to be a driver issue as I've tried this card on two different systems. Anyone with a solution to this issue? (One solution is to get a new video card) Thanks.

Kreated

I have a Sony CDRW 12x burner that seems to have problems being compatible with many burning progs. . . especially the Goldenhawk CDRwin 4. 0 beta. It simply can't use it, It tells me I need an ASPI driver, and so I installed one, but it doesn't seem to work.

windows 2000 SP2 & Object Desktop winXP better than winX

cipher

i have decided to be cheeky and have deleted my winXP beta and replaced it with win2k SP1 & 2, plus Object Desktop winXP skin which makes it identical to XP, but with the 100% stability of win2k!

geforce 2 in win2k - Direct3D works great, OpenGL won't work

kingtrey

ok, this has baffled me. i just recently installed Win2K, and i tried may different sets of drivers to see, but it seems that i have no OpenGL support WHAT SO EVER. Direct3D games such as NOLF and Tony Hawk 2 work awesome, in fact, maybe better than they did in Win9x.
