GEforce 2 drivers on WinXP

[Shannafey]

I built a new system with an Athlon processor, Asus motherboard, gig of Ram, GEforce 2 card. It was working fine with the base WinXP driver, then I made the mistake of installing NVidia's new drivers, and I get ghosting and other problems. I can't uninstall the driver, though!! For some reason, the graphic adaptor is missing from the device manager, and when I right click on the desktop, and go into properties, it doesn't let me rollback to the old driver. It doesn't even show me having that card. It shows some bizare generic listing. I tried a different driver from NVidia's site, and no dice. Any suggestions? I just want the generic WinXP one back. I tried the WinXP disc, but can't get anything off it. I am not an avid gamer, it is just a display card that I inherited. HELP!!

did you try a restore point before you installed the nvidia driver ?

system tools -> system restore

Thank you, I will give that a try when I get home.

Thats very odd, the system I'm on now has a GF2 Ti and I have no issue with the nVidia driver. Is you motherboard a VIA chipset? If so do you also have the latest VIA 4in1 driver on it? There is likely a reason somewhere why it acted the way it did.

Doesn't XP have generic 4in1 drivers for VIAchipsets ?

Thank you, all that answered my pleas for help. I installed the 4-1 Drivers, and I also tried a restore, as well as different drivers on NVidia's site. Nothing worked, and I was only part way into the building stage on the system, so I reformatted, and started from scratch, and now the problem's gone!!!
