W2K Pro and Trident Blade 3D/MVP4 (63) Video Driver

I have just installed W2KPro with Svc Pack 3. I have everything running with the exception of not being able to find video drivers for my Trident Blade 3D/MVP4 (63) card. I have downloaded a file from the Trident site that SUPPOSEDLY is supposed to work.

I have just installed W2KPro with Svc Pack 3. I have everything running with the exception of not being able to find video drivers for my Trident Blade 3D/MVP4 (63) card. I have downloaded a file from the Trident site that SUPPOSEDLY is supposed to work. The file is win_2k.zip. I unzipped into a folder called Trident. But when I try to install the driver from the control panel, it looks for something like *.inf. Which is not in the downloaded file. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. Right now I stuck with 16 colors when the card is capable of True 32 bit colors. HELP!!!!

Ok, first, in your folder options, do you have the option set to view hidden/system files? I would enable that, first. Second, you will need an .inf file, as that includes the installation information for windows to install the driver. Have you had a chance to check out http://www.driverguide.com yet? That's where I get most of my drivers, that are either unsupported or unavailable from the OEM.
