i can't even bet a boot with a nvidia riva tnt2 model 64 w/8mb ram on a MainBoard TXpro-II or a knock-off replica thereof. funny thing is: the card workes fine in another comp with a diff mobo (this one, a spearfish with a xeon 450 pentium 2) and to add to insult, a couple of old junk video cards WILL work in the TX-proII. i also have an Aopen socket 7 mobo i could use for this system but the exact same story applies: the junk video cards work in it but not the tnt2 card which i just bought. by junk video cards i mean they have bad memory chips on them and they have garbage mixed in the on-screen display which makes them kind of useless except for getting a system to boot at all. if it matters they both have S3virge chips on them. running win98 fully updated with ie 5.5 also fully updated. have the latest nvidia drivers avail but of course haven't gotten that far. i did, however remove all the old drivers from device manager and found no nVidia references in the registry to delete at all. any clues would be highly appreciated. thanx, JL

I have the same video card, but on an ASUS motherboard. I had all sorts of problems with not being able to boot without error messages, illegal operations,(even in IE5) and not being able to play any games for more than 5 mins. I had no idea that it could have been related to the video driver. This was a brand new card and I used the drivers from the CD that came with it. I also went to the Nvidia site to get the latest drivers. I finally went to the ASUS website and got a driver called 533aw9x.zip. It works great now, but I have noticed that games graphics are slightly slower. Perhaps the card was made to run at a fast re-fresh rate, but ends up conflicting with everything else. I'm not sure if this driver will help you. You may have to get driver files that are compatible with your motherboard at their website. Here's the URL if you want to try it. I'm quite sure the instructions for installation, required that the driver files already in use should be deleted so that it could install properly. http://210.242.47.7/products/motherboard/driver_vga.html Good luck
