Geez...
After you updated directX and installed the latest Nvidia drivers?
That's bad
Is this a brand new machine?
Or did you just upgrade the video card?

Actually....now that u mention it...12.41 does have directX 8
enhancements...
But I didn't get any better frame rates with them.
I used mdk2 and 3d mark 2001 to test em.

A buddy of mine thinks 12.41 solved some problems with direct3D games
locking up, even on the Geforce2-series cards. So the new drivers may be
worthwhile for GeForce 2 owners.

If you are running a geforce 2 Ultra or below....there's no reason to....
V6.5 was the last release that had any performance increases for those
cards...I'm pretty sure that all the newer releases are for geforce 3 cards
and their new chipset

12.41 are the latest nVidia drivers, but 6.50 works for me, so I haven't
updated.

DirectX 8.0a is available from Microsoft's WindowsUpdate page, under the
product updates section. (You know where this is, right? I mean, you
installed all your Code Red patches from there, right?)

you are dead on ryan...but...This has nothing to do with openGL...
avi,
Get the newest nvidia drivers...and make sure you have directx 8.0a
installed...that should take care of it

Win2k most certainly *does* support OpenGL natively. Those 3d screen savers
that come with Windows are OpenGL, and there's an openGL DLL installed by
default that provides software OpenGL rendering to any application that
chooses to support it.
Now, if you're saying that the nVidia drivers that come with WIn2k don't
support hardware-accelerated OpenGL, that's a different story. And the
solution is downloading new drivers from nVidia (I still live version 6.50)
or your 3d-card manufacturer. It takes all of two minutes. I run QUake3 and
unreal tournament in OpenGL mode with no problems.

Is it OpenGL? Win2k does not support it by default...good luck getting it
to work well.

I need some help here.
Running a Win2k Pro SP2 system, with a 32 meg nvidia mx geforce video card,
but when I run direct x diag under display and directx features, direct x
draw acceleration, direct 3d acceleration and agp texture acceleration are
all greyed out and not accessible. any thoughts? I figure that my pc for
some reason is only allowing me software emulation and not allowing me to
take advantage of the video card in here.
