Riva TNT Problems Revisited

MrNiceGuy
My RivaTNT don't work properly under 2000 (big suprise <G> ). I've installed all the latest drivers, but when I boot to w2k all I get is a black screen. When I boot in safe mode, and uninstall the riva, I can boot back to 2000 with limited video (16 Color, 640X480).
