Hi, I've got a problem.
I have got a RIVA TNT 2 M64 and when I wanna play dos-games in SVGA mode, it crashes my computer. E.g.:Duke Nukem works in VGA mode but when I try SVGA mode, it crashes. It's the same thing for GP2
Do I have to get DOS drivers (I didn't find any).
Thank you for helping me, bye!!!

You need the Scitech Display Doctor (very famous tool, at nearly all download-sites) to enable hi-res modes. It's also called UniVBE.

Older dos games somtimes use generic VESA drivers in SVGA mode VESA is a kind of expansion slot in case you didin't know.
Alot of times manufactures make the video cards to use 2 types of drivers. Standard 640x480 VGA drivers & the win 95/98 SVGA drivers. If it wont work in svga mode chances are you will just have to run it in vga mode.
