Hi all, I've installed a program requiring the use of NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro Display Driver. In spite of that, WineTools 2.0.8 and wine-20041201 did a great job in fully installing the program without pain, However, one critical component of the program needs the original NVIDIA driver so badly. How can I specify this driver in wine and/or Wintools, or elsewhere, when I have all of the original driver files (XP ones) manually installed in drice_c/.../drivers and drive_c/.../system32. My program has detected X11 windowing system and needs to modify the video chain but it can't. What do you think? Any help will be much appreciated.

I guess I'll move on to some other challenging programs. Adam ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

I've never seen any program that wanted to reconfigure the video driver system in order to run. By the way it doesn't matter what drivers you're using on Linux or FreeBSD. It's detecting the Wine X11 driver as that's the only one the app can see. You may be able to hack it, but I suspect there's a reason why the app needs that specific driver, and I doubt lying to it will help much. thanks -mike
