Hi folks.

is anyone aware of an issue with the Soyo 6BA+III mobo (bios rev 2BA4) when used with a Riva TNT2 Ultra (bios rev 2.05.2.11) in win2k?
with this setup, win2k appears to allow me to change the drivers from the default to either creative labs or reference drivers, (including clicking 'yes' to allow installation of unsigned drivers) but on rebooting the default drivers are back.
doing the exact same thing with my old Riva TNT in the same system works fine: the drivers install, i play quake3, everyone's happy.

the TNT2U works fine in win95 OSR2.1

more details..

Celeron 450A
256 MB Ram
SB Live Value
generic ne2k pci net card
generic isa modem

thanks for any help

never mind.. i solved the problem by swapping the soyo mobo for an Asus P2B from another machine. the soyo just didn't seem to get along with the TNT2U in win2k, but everything's funky on the Asus board.
