TNT2 WINDOWS BOOT PROBLEM

i just installed win2k and when it starts up all i get is a black screen, after the load screen. If i boot up in VGA mode every thing is fine, does anyone know how to fix this? btw, it also does this if i install 98 fresh again.

you hate TNT2 (made by Nvidia) yet Creative Labs should be burned at the stake? ummm...yeah....whatever...
 
You should be getting all of your drivers from Nvidia.com and not Creative Labs for one thing. Also, I remember having that problem and you know what? all I did was take out the video card and push it back in, making sure that it was in good...it booted up fine after that.

try booting in safe mode, installing the lastest AGP drivers, and then, Detonator 6.31 certified drivers

i've been experiencing this problem as well, when i had k6-2 + tnt2, but if i waited for quite some time the system got through the blank screen and booted anyway, but it was very very slooow.... However after up[censored] with latest nvidia reference drivers, the problem disappeared....

i'd use the 5.xx detonators if i was u. i've found them to be the fastest and most stable for tnt2s.... unless your running win9x, then the 2.xx drivers are faster i think...

Yep had the same problem with all newer detonator drivers - thank god the TNT 2 is in my secondary machine (nice and stable Matrox G400 max in my primary system!) - Nvidia drivers suck!

nvidia's drivers don't suck. they're a hell of a lot better than most other companies. for Nvidia based cards, or even their own damn cards. (ATI) but anyway, all the drivers after 5.xx are really just for geforces. they aren't going to spend anymore time up[censored] drivers for legacy hardware. it makes sense to me....
