RIVA TNT Win2K Drivers

[Maeric 0]

This has been a pain for me, I've been searching for drivers for my TNT card to be used for Windows 2000 but have been unable to find any. Are there any drivers available?

 

I'd appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

Three choices:

 

1. Search the fourm.

2. Use the drivers that ship with W2K.

3. Tell us why the shipped drivers don't work.

I think we need to make the SEARCH link larger than the words NT Compatible at the top of the page.

 

Geez, you would think that people could just look first before asking the same questions over and over and over....

 

What about it SHS? SEARCH in all caps right next the the NT Compatible logo. And then a warning before a new post: "Did you really search for an answer first?"

 

Regards...

...or maybe www.searchntcompatible.cjb.net and rename the forum to "ULTIMATE SEARCH FORUM" and a banner then "please keep members calm by searching first.thank you" and after a 2nd banner "thanks for using our search engine" stay cool...

Okay, I got the NT drivers for the TNT, hoping that they will allow me to play a few games in OpenGL so that my NT machine won't just be a business machine.

System Stats are:

Pentium Celeron 400, 128MB RAM, Fujistu 10.2GB HD, Creative DVD-ROMx2, Creative Labs RIVA TNT PCI, SB16PnP, Award BIOS

And what about hiding the "Post new topic" button ? Or prevent people with less than 30 post to post a new topic ???

 

I WANNA KILL NEWBIE (I know I was one one day, but I don't think I was that stupid ....)

I HAVE A SOLUTION !!!!!!

 

Why not post EVERYDAY a new Post called :

"TRY THE SEARCH BUTTON FISRT". (I had similar problem on a news server (people sending posts to the wrong forum), and it's the solution we found : sending every day a new post saying : "ATTENTION : HOW TO USE THIS FORUM")

 

But anyway, will find guyz sayin' : "Old posts are talking about TNT2 in general, but Ihave a ASUS TNT2 card. What about it ??? How can I make OGL and DD and AP and TV-Out work ????"

 

 

Awx

 

PS : on my news server, it didn't worked a lot but it helped.

'Scuse me but that's a little rude. Not everyone is as perfect as you, Awaxx. Most people make mistakes. Hopefully you don't make another mistake else you might have just invited the same criticism as you gave me!

 

:-(

All of us were newbies at one time, just think, after the 17th it will get worse. All you have to do it make links on the front page for the topics that were posted the most, for example...TNT DRIVERS AND PROBLEMS....

Just make that a hyperlink....

I agree EddiE314. Would have made my trip here a whole lot more enjoyable.

Sorry Maeric, my words went beyond my thinking. I'm not perfect at all, even if my post can make believe that I think I am. I was a newbie, not so far away from now (just have a look, I'm a registered user only since Nov 1999 and I started using Win2k just a few weeks before, and I'm supposed to be a "Super Member" with only around 80 post). My knowledge and science must be as small as yours (maybe smaller), but I think I use my knownlegde in a efficient way.

 

There is an advice I can give you (and I try to follow it as often as I can) : think by yourself and keep informing you.

That way, you'll be able to solve more and more prob by yourself by interpolating other probs and you'll fell much more intelligent . It the advice I give every newbie I met.

 

So when your arrive at a new place, have a look around to see what's here. That way, you could have found the Search button and find quicker anwer to your prob.

 

I'm sorry for having being rude.

hrrm perhaps a small faq is in order? you know the basics included such as:

1) AOL is screwed under win2k - see AOL keyword beta central for latest win2k release

 

2) TNT drivers not quite ready for primetime yet check (current url for latest version)

 

3) Creative Labs Livewire for SB Live! cards not available for win2k yet, this fix may help (also with url)

 

etc

 

Just my 2cents worth!

heheh forgot need to put in a search bit also! btw is there any way the "forums" could be named nt applications/ 2k applications? a bit confusing at present for newcomers! list apps, apps, hardware, hardware, games, games, and german?

 

later people
