Okay, i loaded xp onto an old system running a Nvidia Riva TNT2 Pro card with 16Mb vram and built for 9x. I had to format xp on this system to restore it and in the process i lost the drivers i was using. Heres the problem. when xp discovers the card it automatically installs drivers called "Nvidia Riva TNT2 Pro (Microsoft Corporation)" but this is not the correct driver. this driver causes the system to boot into a black screen and not respond. the correct drivers are "Nvidia Riva TNT2 Pro (Gateway)" but the problem is i dont remember how i got these drivers. I know i didn't get them from gateway because they said that XP drivers for this old card didn't even exist, i found them in a driver set somewhere. My question is does anyone own a Gateway Performance 800 with windows XP and the orginal TNT2 Pro card on it. it took me weeks to find the drivers last time.

Have you tried downloading the drivers from NVIDIA's site? If not, go grab the latest Detonator driver pack and try it out. At this point you have nothing to lose in trying.

Thanks for the post, but i spent last night looking for it and i found some OEM drivers on a website that work, the only problem is that they're extremely outdated. i can get graphic acceration on the desktop with them but they have no openGL support so i can't play any games. The Nvidia detenators can't find my card when i try to install them and the .inf doesn't have the TNT2 Pro in them so i can't install them manually, oh well

Do these help at all? : http://members.driverguide.com/index.php?action=dosearch&qm0=nvidia+riva+tnt2+pro+gateway&qa5=4&qa6=744&dp=2&sm=b&jmd=and I wonder what'll happen if I do this ?

I found a driver for W2K some weeks ago, for a friend, on Driverguide, which gave OpenGL and full acceleration with DirectX - the reason for the search. I can't remember whether XP support was claimed for it as well, but I'll check with him tomorrow for the filename, and look up the OS support on DriverGuide.

This is the one I was talking about, and XP support is listed.
