Default Post 31.00 dont use them !!!!

I found these drivers yesterday through warp2search and linking to guru3d i downloaded them
.

These are supposed to be nforce drivers with a edited inf file to work with all nvidia based cards.

Well i tried to install them on my win2k machine(never gave me problems installing a driver ever) and found that it cant install them stating that these are not for win2k
when XP/2K is what they were intended for.


This is just a warning and im not saying they dont work but they didnt for me .

Ok latest update:

I downloaded the drivers ...again.

Retried to install on w2k....no luck......(encountered error during installation)

Then i went to my Xp installation (other partition)....guess what??.....no luck here either.

Is it that maybe it dont support my MSI GF3 ti500 ???
Maybe my CPU/MB ??(QDI Advance10f/P3 1000)

I dont get it .

This is really weird and i also saw a few posts in guru3d forum about the same problems.

i got the drivers on , but i couldn't do an update by allowing the computer to search for the drivers in a specific folder, it wouldn't find them and said my current drivers were the better. I had to update by choosing the bottom option to choose the drivers myself and this worked ok.

Well trust me when i say that its not my first time installing drivers,

I did all that i could do (also tried clearing reg and installing as standard vga adapt.)

Also if anyone reads the comments under the download section of guru3d they will see about 30 posts of ppl that also didnt get these drivers to install.


Most common error is "invalid paramater".
