I have sucessfully installed Win2000 but have a problem with my display. I
am unable to use the 3D acceleration with my Creative Labs Riva TNT card.
That is, when I setup my games they report that there is no 3D accelerator
present. I have tried CL's and Nvidia's latest Win2k drivers, but I get
black screens when the system goes to the login screen.

My system:
FIC VA503+ motherboard 1.2A ;J37 BIOS
AMD K6-2 /400 processor
128mb Ram
CL Riva TNT AGP video card.
Win2k Professional; clean install

Is there something else I should check? Should I wait on newer drivers?

Randall

Hi Randall,

I am seeing the same problem, except that I have a Velocity 4400 card and
can't get anything except a blank screen...

which drivers worked for you?  The default Win2k drivers?

Hi,

I'm having a similar situation.  I have the same MB, Bios, processor and I
tried a clean install of Win 2000 also.  I have a Creative GeForce 256 card
that works fine under the detected "standard PCI graphics adapter" driver.
When I install the Creative or Nvidia Windows 2000 drivers, the system hangs
with a black screen just before the log in prompt.

The exact same system setup works great under Windows 98.  I can't find much
info on Win2K problems with the AGP slot or high-end video cards, so I'm
afraid that it is a FIC/Via problem.

Regards,
Mark
