Very simple. Only two lines are missing from the .inf file.

Start the driver installer for 52.16, let it install as far as the license
agreement. Say no to the licence agreement and cancel before the driver
install starts. The drivers will be unpacked to C:\NVIDIA\Win2KXP\52.16

Now edit nv4_disp.inf. If you use notepad, then turn off word wrap in the
format pulldown. Scroll down to the section:

[NVIDIA.Mfg]

and add the following line:

%NVIDIA_NV04.DEV_0020.1% = nv4_TNTxClass, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0020

Ideally insert it just above the one for dev_0028 card.
This adds the support for the NV4 cards (TNT1) like viper v550.

Now scroll down the the section labeled:

[Strings]

and a bit further to
; Localizable Strings

insert the line:
NVIDIA_NV04.DEV_0020.1 = "NVIDIA RIVA TNT"

put it between the Aladdin and TNT2 cards.

This sets the string for the driver name in device manager.

Now save the file and run setup.exe from the 52.16 folder. Now it should
recognize your TNT card without trouble.

Works great here on both PCI and AGP Viper V550 16mb cards.

Good luck.

I also have an old Riva TNT card (Viper 550 , for which I would like
to install more up-to-date drivers than what WinXP has out of the box.

How do I add the info you mention here to the 52.16 (or other versions)
drivers of the NVIDIA drivers?

Best regards, Patrick.
