I have a new problem. When the screen saver comes on, it freezes my pc after 15-20 seconds (everytime).
When you installed the recommended driver, did you replace "new" files with "old" files? If you don't, then you get a mishmash of newer and older files, instead of one cohesive driver version. I need to put this instruction on my website.
You can't remove DirectX, but you can upgrade to DirectX 8.1. It would be pretty hazardous to try to remove DirectX on Windows 2000. Windows 2000 tends to completely fall apart when you start screwing with the configuration.
My recommendation is download 12.41 nVidia drivers from
https://www.feldoncentral.com/Sachs/...s/W2K-1241.exe
then go to
http://www.microsoft.com/directx/ and download DirectX 8.1. Then reboot.
If you are still having problems, please get back to us.
