ok well to start off, i know close to nothing about computers. one day i was playin a online game in dos and a pop-up came up so i sent me back to windows. the image was corrupted and the pixels were real big. so i went to try and fix them in properties and my computer crashed. so yea i find out its the display adapter (which i was amazed i was able to do). do all sorts of dumb stuff. download new drivers. oh i use win 2000 and the display adapter is nvidia riva TNT. so i download new drivers and that doesnt work. i unistalled it 192381923 times and it keeps installing itself everytime i reboot. if i dont unistall it in safe mode ande reboot it'll crahs when windows starts. i dont know what to do anymore and looking threw all thsoe questions didnt help. any help would be very appreciated.

"and it keeps installing itself everytime i reboot"

that's an issue apart from the crashes. when you do install it. go to the device manager, Control Panel / system / Hardware / device manager / display adapter. are there any yellow "!" or some other indication of trouble? It probably has a driver issue. Are you sure you downloaded the correct driver for W2K?

Install this: Aida32. It will hook you up.

If the driver isn't the problem you may have a device conflict with another device on your computer but device manager will tell you that.
