buletov Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I mean, the pic says for it self:However, these drivers DO NOT support any TNT product,and not even once the great GeForce 2 Titanium card...(yet they still support those crappy MX series of products)It doesn't sound uniform to me... I really hate them for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridShadow Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I totally agreeOur Certificate 4 IT room we have our own personalized computers to useWe have got a heap of nVidia Riva/Vanta TNT2's and the drivers with windows are crap and no matter where i try to find more i cant upgradenVidia's site says it supports them and you cant send them an email about it because its asking for support which you need to pay fornVidia cards (pretty good) nVidia service s***TYThats why i prefer ATiBTW even the Omega nVidia driver dont update because they are based on the offical drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buletov Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 And also, these new drivers, when used in conjunction with an unattended xpcd,they switch your resolution to 800x600 at around th T-34 minute of the setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate them for this.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Driver 71.84 was afaik the last one that supports the older chips.It's the same bul***** with Intel. 845 (14.10) and 830 (14.7) chipset is not supported anymore in the latest driver 14.15.All those companies, they know a dick about deployment of Windows and don't think a **** about the consequences of their stupid acts. I wrote countless mails on this concern, 4get it. They just don't understand. Same with sound drivers. Countless sound drivers are out there for the very same chips that differ only by a SUBSYS string in the PCI device string. In Linux there is a unified driver. For Windows? 4get it. Realtek does a good job, but their device list is far from being complete.U N I F I E D D R I V E R should be tattooed in their brains once and forever.And of course above all the morons at M$ created the driver signature PITA which makes it almost impossible to handle at least some issues by yourself. I absolutely have to work on that Vista Beta soon to try to give some feedback and hopefully improve the situation a little. OEMPNPDRIVERSPATH must stay, but each directory listed there must be searched including subdirectories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buletov Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Yeah, the key word break... i don't want that.I'm using this in my .cmd file instead:@%windir%\reschange.exe -width=640 -height=480 -depth=max -refresh=60 -quiet -force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buletov Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Fix for 800x600 issue with new ForceWare drivers:Here is a compiled autoit script which you can put on your CD as a detached program;It will check each 3 seconds for display resolution, and if it detects 800x600, itwill switch it back to 640x480 and exit.Extract the attached archive to your \$OEM$\$$\ folder,and add this line to your winnt.sif file:[GuiUnattended]DetachedProgram="%windir%\screenfx.exe"files.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
