HELP!!! Can't update video driver in Win2000 AS
When I first installed Win2000 Advanced Server I installed the nVidia Win2000 378 drivers (I have a TNT2). Everything worked fine until I tried to upgrade to version 513 and 514 of the nVidia drivers.
When I first installed Win2000 Advanced Server I installed the nVidia Win2000 378 drivers (I have a TNT2). Everything worked fine until I tried to upgrade to version 513 and 514 of the nVidia drivers. When I go to update the drivers I do a search to specify a new driver. I pick the folder with the new driver and it then says it finds a better driver located at OEM0.INF. If I continue I get the error listed below.
I then attempt to do a “Display a List of Known Drivers” and click on "Have Disk" to specify the driver location. It finds the driver then copies the files. When it’s all finished I get the following error:
ERROR MESSAGE:
An error occurred during the installation of the device. The system cannot find the file specified.
The system then reverts back to 16-color VGA and I can never upgrade the driver no matter what version I pick.

If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Same thing just happened to me too. I tried to update to 5.14 drivers from 5.13 on my TNT2U, and got the dreaded "System cannot find specified file" error. Tried everything I could think of, to no avail. Strange thing is that I went into display props, and it showed my TNT2 on my Sony monitor. I was able to change resolutions and refresh rate, but Device Manager still had exclamation points by both the vid card and monitor. Rebooted to see what would happen, and it was right back at that crappy 640x480 res.
Anybody??
