No openGL all of a sudden! HELP!

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, everything been going great for me with win2k n that, but tonight i installed the new TNT win2k drivers, version 5.22. Since then, ive had no OPENGL at all :-( I dont know why, ive tried going back to old drivers 5.13,4 about 10 times, ive deleted all the dll's everything i can think of! But still, no openGL. Quake 2 doesnt work (switches to software) and UT generates Blue Screens of death every time i try opengl. pppplease help. Thanks,

Dave

I found the best way for me change driver versions is to go into device manager and uninstall the display adapter. Don't reboot when asked. Then goto explorer and delete the following files:

 

C:\WINNT\system32\nv4_disp.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\nvcpl.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\nvinstnt.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\nvoglnt.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\nvqtwk.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\nv4_mini.sys

 

Reboot your machine then go back to device manager and the display adapter will be using the win2000 default drivers. just update to the version you want.

 

This works good for me... let me know how you make out.

Nvidia has released new official Detonators today. 5.22, but theyre called Detonator 2 for some reason. works fine with everything but Quake2. Q3A works, all D3D games that Ive tried so far works, just not the game that always use to run, Quake2.

Yes i Think your right, I managed to uninstall the drivers and put back 5.13. Since then its been absolutley fine!!

How lame is it that Nvidia are not doing q2 support, that is completley stupid - its the main game i play. I hope they include support in future revisions frown

I had the same problem you had. I installed the 5.22 drivers, which caused quake 1 and 2 to stop working. I tried uninstalling the drivers to no avail, I deleted all of the appropriate video driver files in the /system32 dir, switched back and forth between default TNT2 drivers and the old drivers I used 3.78 (I believe), yet I could not get things working correctly. I finally gave up in frustration, and formatted my C partition. Thereafter I reinstalled Win2k PRO and everything works fine now.

 

Thanks big-time Nvidia :P

 

Now how exactly did you get those 5.22 drivers uninstalled? I thought I tried everything!
