No.  I have this problem with BOTH the TNT2 and the GeForce card.
The TNT2 is from Diamond, the GeForce from Creative, I've tried
Creative's drivers, as well all the drivers currently available
on Nvidia's page (as well as what drivers I could get from Diamond
for the TNT2 before I pulled it out).

It works find under my Win98 install.

I wish I could figure this out... it's driving me nuts.

I have a PIII 450 with an Asus P2B M/B and 256M or memory.
I also have an Adaptec U2W in there, but I'm sure that's not
related to my problem in any way, since my Win98 partition is
on a SCSI drive and EQ works under Win98.  I also have an SB Live!
Value, but I've tried uninstalling that card and the drivers to
no avail.

I'm sure this is Win2K/DirectX related.

I can't think of anything else to try.

Anyone?
