i'll basically sum this up..
It's not on the beta compatibility list, therefore, it doesn't work 100 %.

Hmm, try replacing ddraw.dll witht he dx7 version.
OP
Well I know that the g450 works perfect in win2k with dx8 final. so why not with the dx8 final in whistler. I assume they are the same

Hmmmm, check the agp440.sys file out. See if it's the same as the one in NT5.
the merge is confusing the operating system. I have ran some programs that said "This program is not NT compatible" and then others have said "This program requires Windows NT"...
So I think that in the middle of this merge, it's confusing a few things here and there. But now you know what a beta really is.
