RogueLeader 0 Posted June 16, 2000 I installed Windows 2000 about a week ago, but I'm very disappointed in the Viper II drivers from S3, which are horrible. They over smooth fonts to make them unreadable in some cases, and I can only play Quake 3 now. And those are the beta drivers, the final are worse. Anyways, is it possible to downgrade back to Windows 98 SE by just installing over Windows 2000, like you can to upgrade. I'm still using FAT32 btw. Microsoft seems to label Win2k as a "business" o/s, so they want me to pay for support. HA! [This message has been edited by RogueLeader (edited 16 June 2000).] Share this post Link to post
elomire678 0 Posted June 16, 2000 No you can't, I'm sorry about the Diamond Viper II. I have a Savage 4 and the drivers for that are even worse than the Savage 2000 ones. Just remember from now on don't buy anything that has anything to do with S3. You have to install Win98 in its own directory and reinstall everything. I don't go back to 98 for one reason though, my computer doesn't crash in 2000. That's worth more than a 3D game or DVD anyday. Share this post Link to post
