Can somebody pls nelp?
 My grafics card is "NVIDIA Riva TNT2 Model 64". I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the card, but I cannot get a OpenGL feature. In a few words, I can`t play games that require OpenGL  . My card is pretty old by now, it has 16mb of RAM. Maybe that is the problem...I had no problems using Windows 98, the problem occured when i instaled Windows XP (servise pack 1). Thank you in advance  k: |

Well, the simplest solution is to stay with Windows 98.

Agreed.
When your card was popular, Windows2k was only in the beginning (don't say about Windows XP :-D). No wonder that nothing works. :-)

I also own that card :tai:
I got the full driver package from Microsoft Update Database. Problem is, that you have to install Genuine Advantage Validation tool, which sucks. <_< So either stay with your card or make sure, that you have a legal windows. EVERYONE has one, right guys?

if you download drivers from microsoft they come without opengl...
(because opengl is the enemy of directx)

Nevermind everybody.... At the end, I bought another card NVIDIA GeForce 256 from a friend of mine. It`s not that much better than my old one, but at least I have OpenGL now.
Did anyone had that card or has it now? Can you tell me is it any good? P.S. Thanks for the help, I appreciate that very much  |
