um...

what files are in the folder with setup.exe?

it should be C:\Nvidia\win2kxp\97.02

well actually i extracted the stuff into a folder on my desktop, but when i went to the directory u mentioned, i found the same stuff.

ok, i downloaded the international drivers, the error didnt come up, but it rebooted, did some loud whirring, and booted with crappy resoulution and color. but the nvidia settings thing was in the taskbar, so i clicked it and raised everything up and its seems fine, but every time i click the nvidia settings thing, the screen flashes black and goes back to normal. I exited it for now, im gonna try running elder scrolls IV and see what happens.

that flashing thing happens on some systems but not on others.

theres no actual reason for it.. as far as i know anyway ... its never happened to me with my system...

well i played oblivion and i didnt notice any huge changes, but the combat seemed to be a little smoother. which is good, because it was really choppy before. I guess it worked then. thx.

I looked in the directory and in the engine32.cab file, and didnt find it. but winrar couldnt open data1.cab and data2.cab. it said they were corrupted.

Who said it was a RAR file?!
And the thing to do when having a corrupted file is download it again and make sure you're not using a download-manager!

Anyway,

If you do it "right", you should have no problems installing, configuring and using these drivers in Windows/games/applications!

By doing it "right" I mean this:

1.__Cut down all your overclocking options to default values and reset your PC!
2.__Install the latest bios en firmwares for ALL of your hardware and reset your PC!
3.__Reset your bios settings to defaults and reset your PC!
4.__Reformat your partition and reset your PC!
5.__Install Windows XP SP2 and update FULLY by Windows Update and reset your PC!
5.5_(After this stage I usually make an image of my partition!)
6.__Install the latest chipset-drivers for your motherboard and reset your PC!
7.__Copy the modified nv4_disp.inf over the original nv4_disp.inf file!
8.__Install the video-drivers and reset your PC!

Now, if that doesn't work, something's really wrong with your rig!

Whaaaahahahaha! Oh really?!

Okay this is going totally the wrong way!

Just let me be clear that I allready know what it is since I've been working with these kind of files for over 10 years now!
So why are you telling me this, did I ask anyone what is was?!
