I just put together a dual system using windows 2000, a Tyan tiger 100 (440bx chipset) running twin PIII 550's. The hardware installation was smooth and it posted on the first try (whew!). after installing windows 2000 pro, i went to install the drivers for the all-in-wonder radeon. the drivers installed, but upon reboot, the screen in covered with a fine mesh of colors, and the pc freezes. DAMN!

after entering safe mode and removing the drivers and telling windows to uninstall the card, the pc boots to 2000 pro fine (using the standard VGA adapter setting).....ive tried the latest 2000 drivers, updated direct x to 8.0a, etc. I am relatively new to windows 2000 and somehow feel like im missing something. any ideas would be SERIOUSLY WELCOME! come on amigo's......a fellow tech-head needs some support. thanks.


ignore everything i say

What ran after the win2k install before installing the video drivers? ATI and win2k don't seem to get along. I have an AIW 128. After installing win2k, the TV functions worked, but the 3D did not. After the drivers, the 3D worked (sort of, no 8-bit textures) but the TV did not. Figures.

if i were u i would remove all traces of my aiw drive. restart the comp. then in w2k go to "windows update". there if u have a aiw then microsoft site should catch it and give u a drive for aiw. try that it might work :)

when i first started running win2000, i had an oxygen vx1, and for some reason i had almost the same result as you, unless i went and 'uninstalled' the w2k standard vga adapter, then installed my oxygen drivers. i talked to other that had that card(as well as other cards) some had the same thing, some didn't, weird.
