yakkob 0 Posted July 15, 2000 Hi all, I acquired the above vid card. Thought I'd swap it out for my V3 3000. So i dl'ed the latest drivers for W2k, but it just hangs on installing them. Also, the drivers are s'posed to be microsoft cert, but i get the msg saying they are not! Anyone else have this card? If so, what drivers did you use to get tit working...The cd that comes with the card is useless, as it is not for W2k OS. I have tried numerous ways of installing the damn things and am now at the end of my tether..Looks like I am gonna have to put the V33000 back in Bugger.. Please help Nice one Yak -- Share this post Link to post
wildspukie 0 Posted July 26, 2000 Hello there, I have the same card too and it works fine under Win2k (except of one or to D3D and OpenGL driver bugs, but they are unimportant, because at S3 they are aware of them and they are fixing their drivers now...) The first thing I need is a little more information about your hardware. Mobo, RAM, other cards and so on... The first time I installd the Viper II Z200 I couldn't install the drivers too until I decided to reinstall Win2k on a clean partition. Then it was no problem to install the drivers. Note that HW TnL is not supported in the current release of the Win2k drivers, but they are working on it (I got this info from support) The drivers are not microsoft cert, but they will work!!!! (They wrote some s*** on their website) I hope I could help you. If I don't answer to any replies please mail me, because I'm not often here... Share this post Link to post

wildspukie 0 Posted July 27, 2000 I'm waiting for the results... It could also be an IRQ conflict, BUT the guys at S3 support told me that the Viper II doesn't need an IRQ in Win2k. (But DO NOT disable the VGA IRQ in your BIOS, that doesn't work!!! [i tested it, and my system hangs all 10 minutes...]) Maybe an I/O adress conflict? Or just what I had, a bad Win2k installation.

yakkob 0 Posted July 28, 2000 hehe.. nice 1. Still haven't gotround to doing the full reinstall, still awaiting the SP1 b4 i do that. I'll keep you posted. BTW, what ver of w2k are you using? I am using the rc3, but have since bought the retail, which I will install soon as SP1 (again) arrives. Cheers Share this post Link to post
wildspukie 0 Posted August 2, 2000 Arrrgghh! You can't use RC3! The driver doesn't work in the RC-versions of Win2k. You need the final-version!!!! I had this problem half a year ago, couldn't install my drivers, because they need a newer build of Win2k. CU Share this post Link to post
