Here’s the deal:
Just recently bought a PNY Technologies’ Verto TNT2-M64 with 32MB SDRAM and a PCI connector from my local computer store. (No AGP bus) =/
I previously had a Voodoo 3 in my computer, which I removed.
I tried installing the card’s drivers from the cd in the package, from the Detonator file from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=windows9x, and with glsetup (which was downloading the Detonator files anyway).
So I download the drivers, then I restart my computer. Plug 'n Play kicks in and it installs my card’s drivers and reinstalls my monitor’s drivers without any prompt except asking me to restart.
So I restart. Everything seems good. The drivers check out in the Display Properties/Settings/Advanced. The card looks perfectly fine in the Device Manager (my onboard video drivers are disabled too).
However, whenever I try to load a game with OpenGL, it doesn’t work.
For example, when I tried loading EverQuest, it didn’t recognize the card (whenever you first load EQ, it prompts you, asking which video drivers to use. Whenever I loaded up with the Verto TNT2, only the Primary (onboard) showed up).
Or when I tried running Counterstrike… everytime I attempted to load the game under OpenGL settings, it would say “OpenGL is not supported by your video card” (which it is).
I’m running Windows 98b on a Dell Dimension L, 667mhz, 318 SDRAM. I’ve looked all over www.opengl.org, www.glsetup.com, www.PNY.com, www.nVidia.com. The Direct X Diagnostics tool isn’t helping (obviously!). And I’m still awaiting a call from PNY’s tech support.
Before I drive myself crazy and return this stupid card, is there anything else I can do?!
Please help! Thanks in advance.
