Hi, as per subject... any way to force this puppy to work in my old PC?
When plugged in I only get 640x480 res in 256 colours, nothing higher,
and can't install any nVidia drivers (tried v77.77 but still can't
change anything; I also have DirectX v9.0c installed, under Windows
2000 Pro with SP4).

Updating my motherboard is not an option (I'm broke). If it's a power
issue I may be able to get a new power supply, but how do I tell? My
PC is ancient and has a Pentium III running at only 667 mhz, and I have
512 MB of system RAM. Currently running a GeForce 2 MX/MX400 with no
problems (2x AGP, as stated).

Thanks for any advice. Please reply here instead of e-mail (it'll
bounce).

Do you have the proper monitor INF file installed? It's supplied by your
monitor mfr either on a disk, or downloadable.

Have you also tried utilities like QuickRes NT?

Hi, thanks for the reply... I've since seen in Device Manager that the
card is disabled, with an error stating there are not enough resources
to use it. I will try the monitor INF file and QuickResNT
suggestions, but if Device Manager can't use it then I doubt these will
help it.

not entirely sure if this would work but do you have any pci cards? if
you have spare slots try moving some devices to a different slot,
especially soundcard or modems

Been there, done that. Doesn't matter anyway, I've since sold it
on eBay.
