Hey guys, perhaps one of you can help.
I went to nvidia to try to get updated opengl drivers for my card..they don't have em, so I went to PNY (where I got my card) and my card is discontinued!...anyway, I've been searching for 3 hours, and I can't find a thing.
Do any of you know where I can get updated drivers?
my card is nVidia geForce2 MX200 AGP 32MB by PNY Technologies
I'm running windows 2000 professional.
I would really appreciate it if you can help me out.
Thanks.

Hmm I thought all NVIDIA GeForce cards used the same driver, used to be called Detonator or something. Just click Graphics card, GeForce and your operating system on the website and you should be fine.

are you running windows 2000 professional?
this card works perfectly in windows 98...
but not in windows 2000 professional..I can't use mode 13h (320x200) :(
Which sucks, cause I can't even play Doom/Hexen/Heretic or any of my favorites.

Sounds more like a win2k DOS issue than an OpenGL issue to me.

Be happy you got an NVIDIA. At ATIs side, 10 MB is only the driver. If you want the control panel, control center and WDM capture driver, you're downloading 44 MB.
Do you pay per minute? I thought only Europe was like that, or maybe even only The Netherlands. Otherwise, stop complaining and just go do something fun while it downloads. I had to live with dialup for over 6 years before getting ADSL just a year ago, though admittedly I was complaining a lot too during the last 2 or so years when broadband became de facto... :-)
It's not a fair comparison, but my kernel and X Radeon driver only sum up to about 350 kb! :-)

LOl...
Nah, don't pay per minute... and I DID do something fun while it downloaded.....I slept. ;)
Okay..well, time to see if my troubles are over, or if my PC becomes useless... :\
Pray.

Even then, I'm not aware of a Heretic III and Hexen III, could have missed those though. Really, DeveloperX, it apparently was an issue with you videocard driver, but it has nothing remotely to do with OpenGL.

My computer cannot even hold the game data files, much less run that game. :P
Doom as in, DOS

Well, even if it wasn't OpenGL..the nVidia driver certainly fixed my problem. :)
LOL Heretic III ? nope. Heretic, then Hexen, then Hexen II.
