Phenomic Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Works very well. I tried posting some screenshots but attachments don't work. Why?... but you need older Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 Edited September 10, 2012 by Phenomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasz86 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 For screen shots you can use http://imgur.com/ And with either UURollup (ENU) or the BlackWingCat's kernel extension installed you can use any version of Flash Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had installed an NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti and used BlackWingCat's driver nvw2k26658d. I can't remember how I installed it but 550 Ti was not on the list so I selected GTX 570 and it worked. Now I put in another card also GTX 550 Ti but I can't install the driver. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasz86 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I didn't say anything about Update Rollup 2 Update Rollup 2 (UR2) is a rollup of (almost) all official system updates and hotfixes released for Windows 2000.Unofficial Updates Rollup (UURollup) is a rollup of (almost) all UNofficial system updates and hotfixes released for Windows 2000.Update Rollup 2 won't help you here (although of course there's nothing wrong with installing it). UURollup will help because after installing it you will be able to use the newest Flash Player.What error do you get when trying to install the graphics driver?

Phenomic Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 ok some screenshots...990fx, AM3+ socket, runs Bulldozer FX CPUs, also the upcoming Vishera maybe even Steamroller.GTX 550 Ti looks like GTX 570System summary, page 1 System summary, page 2Cinebench, the same system in Windows 7 gets 4.00 but under Win2k it gets 3.71, win2k CPU driver not as efficient...But graphics kicks butt, "D13P1-40/PCI..." is the NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I point to the driver directory/INF Win2k doesn't find a hardware match, no driver. I can't remember how I did it the fist time... there was no GTX 550 Ti on the list, the closest was GTX 570, so I picked that and it works..

tomasz86 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) You may try to install the newest official nVIDIA drivers:http://pl.download.nvidia.com/Windows/301.42/301.42-desktop-winxp-32bit-international-whql.exeOf course UURollup must be installed before doing so and the installation has to be done through Device Manager because the installer itself won't run in Win2k.Cinebench, the same system in Windows 7 gets 4.00 but under Win2k it gets 3.71, win2k CPU driver not as efficient...Something seems to be wrong. On my hardware configuration Win2k performs in Cinebench (very slightly but still) better than Windows 8. Even if there's a difference it shouldn't be that big. You may also want to test the system using CrystalMark. Edited September 11, 2012 by tomasz86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Cinebench at least thinks that Win2k isn't capable of multi-threading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NVIDIA drivers in you link aren't loading, and I had to remove UUrollup because I got NTFS incompatibility bug and 1 BSOD. I was getting this:So I actually loaded the RIVA driver which didn't work of course, but somehow it activated the driver database so I was able to select GTX 580 Anyway, everything works now:Unrecognized PCI devices are ASMedia AHCI on PCI bus (no drivers fro win2k?). USB devices are USB3 (no driver). The 5 Unknown Devices are NVIDIA hight definition audio (BlackWingCat's driver nvw2k26658d doesn't include it?). // Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you installed any other unofficial updates (perhaps any BlackWingCat's updates)?I was copying a dir tree to a Win7 partition and error msg said that it "does NOT support long filenames". BSOD I don't remember, but if it's somewhere in the event viewer I can get it for you.I had no other updates, it was vanilla w2k + Gurglemeyer's service pack + BWC ahci and video driver.

tomasz86 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Hmm, strange. This is the first time I've heard about this kind of error. Maybe other official updates (or Update Rollup 2) should be made required for UURollup (ENU). There's a big gap between USP5.1 (2006) and UURollup (2010-).

There's a big gap between USP5.1 (2006) and UURollup (2010-).What's wrong with running Windows 2000 as a virtual machine? I run it under Linux, it doesn't need any drivers and uses the host's resources including USB 3.0 and SATA 6 GB and everything works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomic Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I added 2 lines to BlackWingCat's NV4_DISP.INF in the right section:NVIDIA_DEV.1244.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti"%NVIDIA_DEV.1244.01% = Section005, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1244 So now win2k does not reject the driver. You can also select GTS 450 (near identical GPU to my GTX 550 Ti.)Win2k rocks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
