Nforce2 Drivers??

Hi all

Anyone managed to get the nforce2 drivers from anywhere?

Do the ones for the nforce3 chispet work for audio at all??

Anybody offer any advise

Have you tried the Beta drivers from nVidia?
There are nForce 2 drivers in the package.

I would not have told you it was in there if I
hadn't checked. Why didn't you download the
file, unzip it, and look for yourself?

It is listed in the .INF install file:

Odd, I never had to install any nforce2 drivers. Vista picked up all my
chipset settings.

Did it install generic or nvidia drivers?

I was surprised also by vista's intelligence. I noticed that generic IDE
Drivers were installed causing all sorts of slowness.

very glad the Lan driver installed a-ok!

what Nforce 2 board do you have ? (I have soltek FRN2-RL)
chhers

Well so far Vista went onto my Biostar M7NCD motherboard just fine with the
exception of the audio drivers and I have not been able to resolve the
problem.
