Is anyone else having these problems and if so, how'd you fix it? BTW, my specs are: AMD Athlon 650 Gigabyte 7IX 160 MB RAM Riva TNT2 Ultra ( ...

Direct3D with Viper V550 and win2k

Konstantin Zahariev
I read on the compatibility list here that Viper V550 supports Direct3D ONLY with the reference drivers for Riva TNT from NVIDIA. I found working drivers for win2k at Diamond's and NVIDIA sites, but NOT one of them supports neither Direct3D nor AGP.

Problem with Voodoo1 drivers

mikkob
I have Orchid Righteous 3dfx voodoo1 -card. Yep, I know it's old, but I'll still want to use it for a awhile. Those nt5-drivers just don't work, I don't know why? I can see from device Manager that there is a 3d-card with those drivers, but the computer still uses other crappy 2mb 2-d graphics card.

Problems with new V3 win2k beta drivers...

Heifetz
The problem I have with win2k final is that randomly, after a long interval of time, maybe 2-3 days of the computer running, my screen gets GARBLED completely. Rainbow colors fill the screen! This is after I installed the beta win2k v3 drivers.

No Sound on an OPTi 82c931 (ISA) or Labway A411

Ranxxeroxburn@hotmail.com
I had a Labway A411-G70 Xwave 3000 128-bit PCI, but win 2k said that it wasn't compatible so I tried Labway's NT 4 drivers and those didn't work so I got my friend's soundcard, an OPTi 82c931 chip based domething or other soundcard.

WINDOWS 2000 SECURITY HOLE!!!

CraigBurton
now that ive got your attention, the hardware that is currently not compatible, will they ever be compatible? do the drivers affect compatibility more than the hardware itself. sorry for misleading topic, but noone answered in my previous post.

False Claims of compatability

StanP
Pardon my Rant, but this really steams my rice, I have been one of those who been an early bird in running all of the beta's and RC's of Windows 2000 Pro. With this comes a certain amount of responsibility for incompatabilites in hardware and apps, I have no problem with this and understand it fully.
