Greg,
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
I just knew somebody would be in the know and slap me down, again! Phraq!
OK. This makes sense and is acceptable. I can park the card and wait until
I can upgrade this platform to XPpro. Fair enough. I will try this in the AM.
So, it is not a complete catastrophe; I'm just driven a bit closer to my edge!
Fine.
{please see this member genuflecting!......greatly......}
I have a ....new....plan............ :)
Phraq!
Best,
Duncan

Indeed, it looks like Win2k isn't supported in any capacity. Even going as
far back as the Catalyst 7.11 release, only the following operating systems
are supported per the release notes:
Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit versions)
Windows XP Professional
Windows XP Home Edition
Windows XP Media Center Edition
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
Interestingly, the latest Catalyst for Win2k appears to be 6.5--which by far
predates the 3xxx series.
Not much on the nvidia side either...looks like the 7000 series was the last
to support Win2k.
Time to upgrade, finally? *nudge nudge*
