Problem install driver >_<

[Goran]

Ive never in all my years experienced this problem! I am using a Geforce 2 graphics card. Previous times I was able to install the newest drivers just fine. Each time was after a full reformat. So today I reformat after a linux problem and do a full wipe. Install XP Pro everything goes good. However when I get to my graphics driver it wont work. I am positive I got the right file.

Heres my error:
The NVIDIA Setup program was not able to locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit...

System info says its a geforce.... the card itself says its a geforce!!! WTF????

its worked 10+ times before now suddenly it dosent?

One thing that is wierd is that system info says the card is:
NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/Geforce 2 Pro (Microsoft Corporation)

I dont recall it ever saying Microsoft Corportation before!!
That could be something?

Anyway Once again I KNOW I got the right driver and everything. Ive triple checked and even had my friend try it just to make sure I wasent blind or something.

Ok please delete this. Must be the new drivers but searched through nvidias support for the error I was getting and I found the exact answer I was looking for:

The following products are not supported in the current ForceWare Release 80 driver. Please continue to use the previous ForceWare Release 70 drivers available here. http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.89.html


TNT2
TNT2 Pro
TNT2 Ultra
TNT2 Model 64 (M64)
TNT2 Model 64 (M64) Pro
Vanta
Vanta LT
GeForce 256
GeForce DDR
GeForce2 GTS
GeForce2 Pro
GeForce2 Ti

So there was even a link for 71.89 which worked perfectly
