The current state of V3 drivers for Win2k?

Akira

Hi: I recently installed Win2k 2194 Pro without a hitch, and thanks to Chameleon's Voodoo3 drivers, I've been able to play all of my favorite Glide games. However, I remembered how ugly Q3 looked with the old V3 drivers, which these Win2k drivers are based on, with the typical screendoor effect on rocket smoke trails.

Build 2194!

YuppieScum

MS have put a build2194 directory (currently inaccessible) on their beta program FTP server. Is this going to be another incremental, or GOLD?.

Problem with Intel Pro/100+ Management adapter

Jean-Marc van der Kolk

I have trouble with my onboard ethernet card which is being detected as an Intel Pro/100+ management adapter (Win98 and WinNT4. 0 detect this as well, and work fine). Win2000 reports to me that the cable is not connected.

FlyVideo under Win2000 RC2/no sound

faruq

I've dl-ed the newest driver for my Flyvideo card and I can't get sound. The picture is fine, sound is missing. BTW both video and audio section of this card have a yellow exclamation mark next to them in device manager; tuner works anyway, but without sound.

Vid Card Problems! Please help!

Xerzuis

Hello, I own a Creative 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra and I had no problems with the video card during the Win9x days. I upgraded to Windows 2000 RC3 (build 2183) and since then I can't go beyond the old VGA screen with 16 colors.

TNT D3D image quality question

Tim Bazzinett

With a CL TNT, the 3. 53 drivers and build 2128, the d3d image quality is notably missing some features. Running the 3dmark 2000, there is a lack of shadows, and the colors are not what they should be.

Drivers?

bkehoe

Hello, I have an unsupported device in build 2183. It is a satellite card, and Win2k just detects it as a network adapter. I have NT4 and Win9x drivers for it, and I was wondering if there is any way to get it to work by hacking these drivers like Anthony's Liveware3 run.

CD Changer under RC2

EvilEyez

I have a Nakamitchi 5 disc cd changer. The drive works natively in NT/95/98, that is, i don't need to install any drivers outside of what the OS provided. Each disc is assigned a drive letter. Under Win 2000 RC2, only the first disc is assigned a drive letter, all subsequent discs are not accessible.
