3.67 or 3.77? I haven't been able to find 3.77 anywhere else. Not even in the newsgroup. Where you downlaoded it?

Yes, a lot of people get it running by following http://members.home.com/mlafreniere1/ instructions.

The error message sounds very familiar to me. Do you have a CD Writer? Or have you just installed some CD writer program? If yes, then go to my other post about how to get it fix. If you don't, well, I am sorry, can't help.

Get Nvidia Reference driver 3.69 and above. 3.68 still give me Windowed Mode. 3.69 hang my system occasionally when it zoom Full screen. 3.75 seems the most stable that I have known so far. Download the driver from http://www.reactorcritical.com

Braunyaur, Have you tried GiULiO Ardoino's method? I have the same CD Writer and his method works for me. Try searching around deja.com or remarq.com for this guy call GiULio Ardoino, he has came out with the patch program to make it running. Unfortunately I have lost his homepage address. deja or remarq would have his homepage address.

Greggy, Hi! It seems that my system have finally found its twin brother. I have exactly the same specs as yours, except I am using DDR instead of SDR. I have the similar problem as yours. System lock up if I run any 3D games, Quake, Unreal, even DxDiag in Control Panel. And it happens very randomly. Sometimes it hang, sometimes it doesn't. I have RC5 Client cracking at the background too. I found a solution for this, I revert back using Nvidia Reference Drive 3.68, everything solved. Everything run as solid as rock. However, there is a still a few small minor problem here and there which even if I use 3.69 driver, it still don't solve the problem. 1. Dagooth Moor Zoological Garden benchmark is extra ordinary slow. The missing texture?

It took much longer time to load compared to Windows 98. I think it is probably because Windows 2000 suck out more RAM compared to Windows 98. Perhaps more RAM could help to speed things up a little?

Do what they have said... meanwhile, there is a temporary method to disable the autorun. Press on shift when you insert your CD into your CDROM drive. But you have to do this everytime you insert a CD.

Although it still have lots of problem on my Windows 2000 (2195), it is by far one of the best driver that I have tried after so many different driver installed. Still have no clue why sometimes it just hang my 3d shooting game

System spec: Windows 2000 (2195) CL Geforce DDR (3.69 Nvidia Reference Driver) KP6BS Motherboard + 2IC 300 @ 450 Mhz 128 Mb Hyundai SDRAM CL Geforce DDR works extraordinary well on Windows 98 but not Windows 2000. I tried all the reference driver, they all gives me very poor performance on Windows 2000. Have anyone tried Dagoth Moor Zoological Garden on Windows 2000? I get very distorted image and the performance is rather slow. I just like to know anyone have the same problem as me or knows anyway to fix the problem? Graphics on UT is rather ugly (As though it is software rendered), I search through the whole forum but don't seems to find anyone having this problem. Any help? Using CL Geforce driver, Hangar (on 3DMark) gives me average of 1 fps !!! Using Nvidia Reference driver 3.69, it gives me about 10-14 fps, whereas on Windows 98, it gives me about 40 or more fps. There is a special error message before I start the test on 3DMark, it says V-sync can't be turn off. What are all these about? Can it be solved? I think that is the only thing that hinder me from fully migrating to Windows 2000. But I am perfectly happy with the performance of Quake 3 Arena on Windows 2000. That's about the only 3D games performance that really impress me.

GPSnoopy, I just managed to get most of my 3D shooting games running. No idea how did I did it as well. I tried to clear the registry and delete all the CL driver and Nvidia driver and reinstall everything from fresh using Nvidia Reference driver 3.69. It just turn out to work, UT running nicely but slow. Quake 3 runnning nicely as well again slower than Win98. Now here comes the new problem, every of this program occasionally run, occasionally doesn't run. When it doesn't run, it just hang with a not moving mouse pointer. It is so random that I don't even know what's wrong. I tried Wheel of Time demo, it ran but running in V-Sync mode ON.. This would give very bad frame rate. Any idea how to turn it off? 3DMark 2000 complaint about the same problem.

Hi Asidie, I have been running Quake 3 on my SMP system using Geforce DDR (Nvidia 3.69 reference driver). So far no problem except there is a performance hit compared to Windows 98 (Not enough RAM?). Windows 2000 (2195) 128 Mb SDRAM, Epox KP6BS 2x Celeron 300A@450 Mhz Geforce DDR S3 Sonic sound card. Well, for my case, my problem was a different one. Sometimes my Windows 2000 can load 3D application, sometimes it just hang with a mouse pointer and a black screen. I have no fix for it, but it just occur very randomly. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Greggy, I am very surprise to hear another one who has no problem with performance and quality of the image on Windows 2000. While running UT, Quake, etc, the hard disk activity wasn't very heavy except when it first load up and a momentarily blink of my IDE light from time to time, but no slow down. Probably that is because of my RAID. OpenGL mode in UT on Windows 2000 is okay for me, but it would just exit the whole program when there are too many activity going on (too many shootings). D3D on the other hand give me crappy image.
