Just for everything to work more better :)
Everything works fine exept AH !!!!

view becomes crazy.
Crazy triangles in blue color cover all the
screen and follow the moovements of my
coursor wich is invisible.
The sound is normal.

Nvidia for GForce II mmx 400 forWin2000.

runing perfect with Win Mill.

Hades55,

This is a Video driver issue I would suggest trying the latest Certified driver for 2000 & that card.

Make sure you got latest service pack  SP3

Hades SP3 does nothing but damage to your W2k.

Did you make a complete format / reinstall or did you upgrade from WinMe? If you upgraded, it's possible that you have traces of Me drivers lying around that cause problems.

I would avoid SP3 as well.  It does nothing but add more XP code to 2K.

Chaps,

I have the exact same problem, as soon as I enter the game I get massive screen corruption.  Interestingly I have a similar card to Hade555, maybe this is the problem?

System Specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2200
Win2k Pro
Directx 9.0 <- Final Release Version
512MB DDR Ram
Geforce 4MX 4400 <- I know I got boned on the vid card :p
Detonator 30.82 Drivers

If you need any further details of my system spec I should be able to post these on sunday.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you guys can make.

If not SP3 than you need SP2 do a search on the boards.  Sorry Skuzzy gotta disagree with you on this...  But I've never had a problem with SP3 on w2k pro.  I'd like to hear why you don't think it's a good idea for a home user?Install SP2 (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73846&highlight=SP2)

Upgrade to SP3, it will repeat will fix the problem and it doesn't degrade Win2k at all.

Hi,
I had this same problem on win2kpro with sp3 installed. I think (if I remember) that I installed directx 9 after the video drivers, which was wrong and so reinstalled directx after the latest nvidia drivers. Maybe worth a try, good luck with it
