A pentium III (1GHz) with 256mb RAM. MSI MS-6318 Mainboard. ASUS GeFore 2MX 7000 (400MHz) I installed Neptune and then "93.71_forceware_winxp2k_international_whql" nvidia drivers. It asks for a reboot after installation and now I get a blue screen. STOP: c0000263 Driver Entry Point not found The \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\nv4_mini.sys device driver could not locate the entry point VideoPortQueryServices in driver VIDEOPRT.SYS. On 81.98 it even shows the error above on installation. I even tried to not to restart and let the hardware wizard install the GeForce 2MX...bluescreen on reboot. I can still boot into safemode to remove the drivers via the device manager. Failed so far : 93.71 84.xx 81.98 (same "Entry Point" error already on installation within windows) 53.03 (same "entry Point" error already on installation within windows) ForceWare is not enlisted under Control Panel -> "add/remove programs" and I get a catalog error when looking at the empty programs list. Im aware this is a bad idea and beta. Maybe there are remnants left that lead to this error ? p.s. Im also confused as there are ATI Radeons with the name 7000 T by ASUS, but the same ForceWare drivers (93.71) work using XP on this PC.
The problem is probably that even though the drivers say they have 2k support, they actually expect patchlevel SP4+Rollup1. Neptune is the never released Home version of 2000 (pre-release 5111NTC) so it is at patchlevel SP0 or even lower. Expect support for graphics cards around 1998/99 only. Abandonware always has old and crappy hardware and driver support.
