here is the prob:
everything was working fine untill i tried to install detonator 6.41 drivers. after trying to install them it gave me an error saying they cant be installed, so i tried reinstalling the old 6.31 from Nvidia's site...same error tells me drivers are not installed in device manager
Here is what i have:
Windows 2000 w/sp1
Viper v550 16mb agp
 
also strange thing is if i use the windows 2000 default drivers i get 32 color and full res support but no opengl
 
also tried doing what it said in this post but to no avail http://www.ntcompatible.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/003650.html

You should have used the NVIDIA uninstal program in the add/remove applet in the control panel.
 
As it seems it's a bit too late to do that:
go to device manager, look for your videocard entry and go to driver tab. Click on upgrade driver and when prompted, select "let me choose a driver from a list". Specify the location of your 6.41 drivers, and windows will reinstall everything.
 
Lets pray this helps you...
