nvida drivers

What are good drivers for a GForce 2 64mb Pro card? And where do I get them. Silly question, but where do I dowload it to once I have it on my desktop, as I cant see where to extract them to. Thanks, Ben

Montoya and Gordon???? Japan next week for JPM and somewhere around Talladega for Jeff Gordon. dave henrie "Ben Daniels" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > What are good drivers for a GForce 2 64mb Pro card?

Go to device manager and select your vide card adapter, and then select properties, select driver tab and the the update driver button, change driver to standard vga, reboot, got to device manager again and select the video adapter once more and update the drivers as described above but point the it to look in the folder where you unzipped the files too, follow the instruyctions and reboot. That's it.

The current nvidia drivers, which I downloaded from nvidia, install themselves automatically. No muss, no fuss. At least the Win2k drivers did.

NVIDIA Detonator 4, NVIDIA DetonatorTM XP Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) "21.whatever" drivers sucked on my Gefarce Pro with a definite frame rate loss. They are not certified yet. I haven't tried them yet in WinXP, just WinME. "The drivers available here are NVIDIA reference drivers and are provided "as is" with NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT. They do not contain OEM/manufacturer specific customizations that shipped with your NVIDIA video card. Please consult your board manufacturer or OEM for supported drivers." Stick with your boards certified drivers, i.e. from your boards manufactures web site, not NVIDIA's site. IMO >Silly question, but where do I dowload it to once I have it on my >desktop, as I cant see where to extract them to."dowload, cant" I can see that you don't know how to use a spell checker too. (just kidding, he he) Sounds like you need a remedial course in Windows Explorer. If it's a self extracting file/program just Double Click it, (single click preferred here, saves that mouse button from wearing out) from there and it will expand and run from C:\WINDOWS\TEMP Or you can do. In Windows ME Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer (I copied the Windows Explorer to Programs for ease of use). Expand window, Create a folder at C:\ (root) name it TEMP or aaTemp (to keep it at the top of the Browse box list, 100gb's on 6 partitions here). _aTemp if you have "Show hidden files and folders" in the View Tab of Folder Options. You can use the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder too. But that takes a little more digging and may be loaded with allot of crap if you don't keep up with your maintenance programs, (Disk Cleanup). So when you get the "Save As" dialog box, just go to your hard drives C:\ (root), and open the temp folder that you created. Most Modern Windows versions will default to either "My Documents" or "Desktop" it depends on if you have "Show My Documents on the Desktop" checked in the View Tab of Folder Options. Make sure that you have "Enable Install On Demand (Other)" unchecked and "Notify when downloads complete" checked in the "Advanced" Tab of Internet Properties in Internet Explorer. (IE 6.0.2600 preferred). You should save all your update drivers/programs to a folder say "Soft_Ins" and backup to CDR, CDRW or Zip Disk in case you need them again after a system crash. That's one thing good about learning about computers starting with older Mac's. Lesson 1: "Save your file every 5 minutes, and Backup Daily". Mac's have a very fragile Hard Drive filing structure. "Macintosh" stands for "Most Applications Crash If Not The Operating Systems Hangs". Naaa I still like my Mac's, really. LOL Netscape Users? Get a good browser (Netcrap, Netscrape).........he he No it should be fairly similar. Damn I gave up on Netscrape around Mac OS 7.0 days, LOL. If you find this long and confusing, GOOD !
