Riva TNT2 Ultra Guillemot

I am looking for an updated driver for this card. I downloaded a driver
from Nvidia:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

When I run the exe it says that I don't have a card that is supported.
Where else should I try?

Thanks,

nina

Why do you want to change the present driver? For display adapter cards, a
TNT2 Ultra is very old, and the newest drivers, even if they could be
installed, wouldn't improve performance.

The newer drivers no longer support the GF2 GTS/Ti/Ultra, or
the TnT, & TnT2 cards. I'm not sure what the last version was though.

I had to do a re-install of the OS after a hard drive died. I have an old
driver that I used with the filename: 29.42_winxp.exe However, this only
gives me a max resolution of 1024x768, which is not the maximum. I was
just looking to get a better resolution.

Check NVIDIA's FTP archive. I'm sure the 4x.xx series supported the
TNT2U and you should get fairly recent compatibility (except D3D HAL
DirectX 9 support, that was introduced as a software layer in 52.16).

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/45.23/

If you don't like that version, try 44.03, it was fairly popular too.

You probably got the newest Forceware drivers, which no longer supports the
TNT2.

The final driver release to support it is 71.89:

Blame nVidia for not making this immediately clear.

Ok, thanks for the link, I will burn that to disk for future use!

However, after installing I am still in the same boat. I can only get a
maximum resolution of 1024x768. My monitor, a MultiSync XV17, supports
a maximum resolution of 1280x1024. I have never updated a monitor
driver as I have always been able to get the max res of a monitor right
out of the box. Any idea why my vid card's max res is currently
1024x768?

Thanks
