Title: G41MT-D3 F1 Windows 2000 compatible On board Video Driver
Post by: optimaxworld on August 12, 2010, 01:06:36 am
Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a Windows 2000 driver I can use that will allow me to run more than 640x480 resolution on this motherboard?

I know that Win2000 is old but we will be using this PC exclusively for running an old database application and we know that the software runs well under this OS. I currently have everything setup and running smooth with the exception of the on board Audio and Video drivers. Audio is not a problem as we do not need it but it would be good to have a bit more Video real estate when we access this PC remotely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
opti

look this site :

www.touslesdrivers.com

after start " Mes Drivers"

accept the ActiveX

after : "lancer La detection"

You have at this time drivers for many OS (  WIN98 ...... WIN 7 )

Possible find at this time driver compatible

If you cannot find driver compatible ..

You have PCI slots and you can use old PCI cards as Matrox , NVidia MX440 or similar cards for which there WIN2000 drivers

In Bios you can invalidate Embedded Graphics card for use the old card !!

Thanks again Pierre for your feedback.

I have tried but unfortunately the activex plugin required by the site cannot be installed in 2000! :(

I thought of adding an old card but I think I will leave it as it is, after all we will hardly be needing the video.

Thank you,
