NYR_32 6 Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Check your device manager it should say what it is there, or run DXdiag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stinger 0 Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 (edited) So you've changed the drivers that come with 2K with what new ones? I would go and download the 29.42's they're the most stable and wont hurt performance. What GFX card do you have? Edited April 12, 2003 by Stinger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

magura4224 0 Posted April 12, 2003 Author Share Posted April 12, 2003 should i get the 43.45's or the older ones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stinger 0 Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 The newest drivers are actually 43.51's. Get the older ones from http://download.guru3d.com/detonator/ go to page number 4, find the 29.42's for XP/Win2K and then download and install them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
