Its starting to get on my nerves I because I cant get the driver recognized so I can install it. I went into the video hardware adaptors and tried to find the drivers manually or by letting windows search for it in the temp files or on a cd. Then I tried going into the advanced display features but nothing seems to be able to recognize the drivers. There not zipped I actually tried zipping the extracing the file but still no recogniton I'm lost anyone know whats going on.

12.81 from the Nvidia site for the 2000/XP

Oh ya maybe its couse I havnt installed the directX 8.0 yet I'm still waiting fo the download to finish.

Yep - you'll find DX8.0 helps a lot.......

I'm running the DetXPs just now with 2000. They have boosted my average fps in games about 25%.......................

Ok I got it to work I thought is was strange when my Win9x 12.81 was a self extracing driver but the XP/2000 driver wasn't.

The problem was I downloaded the 2081 for 2000 prior to installing the OS I was backing up some doc and programms so I though I would save myself the trouble of downloading it later. Well Nvidia must have some sort of block so you'll install the right drivers because the 2081 I downloaded with win98 is useless.

Now I just have to download and install some drivers so my printer will work with 2kpro then its on to some benchmarks.
