    Driver help

    Now that I have found the parts needed to make my VFX1 work, I need to power it by a good card that still uses the feature connector.
    I have in the parts bin an old Leadtek GeForce2 Pro that fits the bill perfectly but the problem is getting the drivers. I want to get the very latest drivers and everywhere I look I can find them but they are always located on sites where you have to login to get the drivers and it's driving me nuts.
    I need to find both the latest Windows 98 and Windows 2000 drivers.
    I'll keep searching but could I get some assistance?

    EDIT:
    It looks like the latest 2k/XP drivers are 61.20 and the latest 9x/ME drivers are 61.21

              WOW!
              The Nvidia drivers are far newer than the Leadtek ones.
              Thanks will!

                  Re: Driver help

                  Yes, just make sure you get the right driver pack. NVIDIA drivers come in an "all-in-one" package so you only have to download one file for all graphics cards. However since their line is so huge now after all these years, they have been cutting out the drivers for "legacy" graphics chips like your great Geforce 2 Pro card. Therefore you must use an older "all-in-one" package so that your graphics cards drivers will be included.

                  I just checked NVIDIA's website, they have made selecting the right package to download much easier if you have a legacy device than say a year and a half ago or so. When I needed drivers for a legacy device. I had to dig down their archive of drivers and flick through the readme file online and find out if my legacy chip is supported. Eventually I found the newest drivers that still supported my graphics card but it was a royal pain in the ass to find it.

                    Re: Driver help

                    Yeah they really cleaned it up recently.
                    To my luck, both the 2K and the 98 drivers were readily available so I should be fine.

                      Hi,

                      You can download this driver (mod nVidia 66.93 by Leadtek) if you want to use Leadtek(Winfast)own driver and want to show the original device name(Winfast GeForce2 Pro) in Windows XP devices manager.

                        I'm not going to be running the card with XP. As a matter of fact, if I can't get the controller card for my VFX1 to work with Windows 2000 I will be sticking with windows 98.

                            Hello, this is my first post and im just a beginner, so be easy on me guy. thanks



                            i have a LED chandeilier that switches colors from white to cool white to warm when toggling the switch, it has 24 LED arms, each arm is 30 CM length.



                            i have no datasheet at all for the LED lights, all i have is its length.



                            long story short, testing the chandelier on the ground, and it works fine for 1 - 2 - 6 hours, no problem.



                            as soon as i fix the chandelier to the ceiling and bury the driver inside the hub,...

                            In a Beelink GTR mini PC, mine has an Intel AX200NGW WLAN module.

                            Tried (only with keyboard/mouse connected):
                            • BIOS + database update
                            • Using latest Windows 11 image built with official image creation tool
                            • Previous setup version for Windows 11 installer
                            • Replacing SSD without a slow block (the previous SSD had a slow block with access time > 500 mS)
                            • TPM reset (worked to the point where DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error message is displayed briefly after the point of stalling)
                            • Disabling power to WLAN and LAN modules in BIOS (Advanced > AMD PBS > PCI Express Configuration)

                            Audio Driver for Thomson P14C4BK128

                            Need Audio Driver for Thomson P14C4BK128 (Windows 10/11)

                            Hi everyone,

                            I'm looking for help finding the correct audio driver for my Thomson P14C4BK128 laptop.
                            The sound is not working properly, and I believe the audio driver is missing or not installed correctly.

                            Here are the details:
                            • Model: Thomson P14C4BK128
                            • Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

                            If anyone has a working link to the driver or knows where I can download it, I'd really appreciate it.

                            Thanks in advance for your help!
