I'm having trouble getting my Creative DXR2 MPEG card working. Looking at previous posts, it seems that earlier win2k builds supported it, then later ones didn't. Installing the WDM drivers from Creative was supposed to fix things. Well.. I've installed the WDM drivers, but still no go - "The device cannot start. (Code 10)". Can anyone help here?

Uhhrg.. I've posted about this before, but I still haven't really found a solution.. Everything with my TNT works, except in Quake 3 it's *really* dark. I got it a bit brighter by fooling with the brightness slider (it just sort of 'clicks in' at some point), but it's still unplayably dark. I've tried every driver set I can get my hands on (bout 8-9 by now..), but nothing has changed. I even downloaded the latest bios for the TNT from creative. One very odd (and *extremely* frustrating) thing is that when I run Q3 in a window, everything is happy - brightness slider works A-OK. Ahhhrrgg - Win2k is *this* ->|<- close to working great for me, but I *need* my Q3.. Oh, I also have a Voodoo2 SLI - whole other problem there.. Like my TNT, at first glance it appears to work, but when I go to play, the mouse control is *totally* laggy. I think I had the same prob in Win98 tho, and that's why I never used my SLI for Q3 in the first place.. doh. Anyways, needless to say, any help here would be much appreciated!

Someone suggest to me that I try just fiddling with the brightness slider in the menu - I slid it all the way to the right: no change (still dark as hell); I slid it to the left, and about halfway back, suddenly the brightness kicked in! *Very* weird, but hey - Q3 is working for me in Win2K! To think I was about to go back to Win98 just cuz o this..

Ah.. I've experience with this exact card - I'm sorry to inform you that there's NO way to get it working in NT or Win2k. Doh!

Nope - in game brightness things don't do a thing. Must be a driver issue..

Ok, I got my CL TNT working using the drivers from here: http://www.betaos.com/drivers/Tempvid.zip They work great in Quake 2, but in Quake 3 it's *super* *extra* dark! Brighness slider does nothing either. Oh, but it's fine when I run it in a window - great..

Ok, *cough* - I just did what I should have done before posting - poked about some more for info.. it seems there's no %100 way of getting LW to work. I guess my question is - is it worth it?

Hey - I'm trying to get Liveware 3.0 for my SBLive running on Win2K build 2195. Now, I don't want to **** this up (I've had baaaad experiences with liveware + win2k beta 2) - is there a foolproof method of doing this? Can someone tell me *exactly* the steps I need to take (what files, etc.) to do it? *Any* help much appreciated!
