First of all: what kind of problem are you having. Some general help here: Try uninstalling the video card drivers, then clearing out all the drivers (like *.ini that relate to your video)? Then Reboot and when win2000 asks you for your card, point it to where your downloaded drivers are at?

First of all be sure to use the newest BIOS for your Mobo. Then switch ACPI off. Hit "F5" when asked to hit "F6" for Scsi/Raid-drivers. Chose "Standard-Pc" in the list. This happens at the beginning of the "blue"-Setup.

Seems to be the old prob between Nvidia- and Ali-Chipsets...

But you better post your hardware and drivers here.

the video card will not start up...that is it...

i have no other conflicts anywhere other than in the vgasave properties area, and i have already tried to get all the latest drivers from ali page and from matsonic's page...by the way, i already tried to uninstall all the drivers for the video card...that didnt work, i will try other suggestions tonight and email back again...thanx either way everyone...
