Brand of vid card might have helped. Latest not always the best for older cards. I'm still running a Hercules TNT on the kids PC with the 208 (pre-Detonator) drivers http://download.guru3d.com/pafiledb.php?action=category&id=10 has most of the drivers if someone can point you to a specific version. Otherwise try http://www.pcdrivers.com/video.htm or when all else fail, try the root of the "problem" http://www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_archive.html �eon

I installed a 2nd hand (but still good) TNT2 card into my GF's machine to "speed" her up some. She has a P2 450, 96meg ram, Win98......slow and old, but it gets her by with what she does. She also had only a 1meg Cirrus card still. I installed the nvidia (AGP) and then went online looking for drivers. Original driver disk long gone now. The only drivers I found and figured would be best are he newest from July/03. Well........it freezes almost immediately upon boooting and every now and then it will run for about 10 mins then freeze. Then it commences witht the constant boot freezes. This card should work, it came out of a P2 500 with 128m ram. I've tried different screen sizes and bit rate....same results. Any ideas?? Anyone have a site where I can get first run drivers to try?? TIA V

I installed a 2nd hand (but still good) TNT2 card into my GF's machine to "speed" her up some. She has a P2 450, 96meg ram, Win98......slow and old, but it gets her by with what she does. She also had only a 1meg Cirrus card still. I installed the nvidia (AGP) and then went online looking for drivers. Original driver disk long gone now. The only drivers I found and figured would be best are he newest from July/03. Well........it freezes almost immediately upon boooting and every now and then it will run for about 10 mins then freeze. Then it commences witht the constant boot freezes. This card should work, it came out of a P2 500 with 128m ram. I've tried different screen sizes and bit rate....same results. Any ideas?? Anyone have a site where I can get first run drivers to try??

Using TNT2 PCI as a second video card (motherboard has an onboard SiS, disabled on Windows) on Windows ME, using the latest 45.23 and DirectX 9.0b without any problems.
