Hey all,
I cannot seem to get nVidia drivers to work properly in WinServer2k3. They install fine and appear to be working and Windows tells me my device is working properly, but if I try to run anything 3D, I get error messages telling me that my hardware does not support the applications.
Is anyone using server 2003 and what nVidia drivers. Please help. Thanks.

Dominic

i assume you've enabled hardware acceleration haven't you? :)

Yes, you have to in order to get to the advanced properties. I have tried 4 different drivers now, still nothing.

Okay, I ran dxdiag and although hardware acceleration was enabled, you also have to enable DirectDraw through the dxdiag. All is working fine.

One last thing I am having trouble with. Are there any good anti-virus programs for server 2003? Norton 04 and 05 say they cannot be installed on a server OS.

Symantec Corporate Edition works with Server 2003.
