jhn Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I thought the problem might exist because I have nLite version of XP with lots of stuff removed. After installing XP the TNT2 drivers provided by Microsoft were installed correctly and are fully functional. But I can't install the manufacturer's drivers from Nvidia's website. Setup tells me there are no drivers for current hardware. If I manually force to install TNT2 drivers from the package's inf-files the computer starts with safe-mode and thus I must rollback the previous Microsoft drivers.

Ponch Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 the TNT2 drivers provided by Microsoft were installed correctly and are fully functional.Ain't it fine ?I have one (from 99?) and if I remember correctly, drivers written after those of XP are just for more cards, but do not change anything to the TNT2.

redxii Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Which version are you installing? The latest is http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.89.html found under "Legacy" and "TNT and TNT2 Series". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For game performance, especially for OpenGL, nvidia's own drivers are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdob Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nvidia dosn't test new drivers at old hardware thoroughly.Try older drivers: e.g. 71.84, 66.93, 56.72http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
