Kiddo8 and Zeuspaul, Some information I discovered.... With my Appian Jeronimo Pro 4-port PCI card, Win2K plug and play automatically picked the 3Dlabs Inc. Ltd PERMEDIA2(MS) driver for the card. Although the Appian card actually use the Permedia's graphic chip, the PERMEDIA2 driver the Win2K picked is (IMHO) not 100% compatible with the Jeronimo Pro design. What I did was to go to the update driver option and chose the "I want to select the hardware from a list" option. From there, in the Manufacturer choice, I selected Appian Graphics. Within the Appian Graphics choice, on the right hand side window labeled "Models", you will see "Appian Graphics Jeronimo Pro" driver. Highlighted that option and clicked "Next". This driver is MSFT certified driver and will work fine and dandy with Win2K. You will need to click on each of the driver (4 of them from the 4-port Appian) until all of the 4 PERMEDIA2 drivers are changed to Jeronimo Pro driver BEFORE you allow Win2K to re-boot. Interesting thing is that Win2K plug and play correctly picked the "Appian Graphics Jeronimo Pro" driver for my dual-head Jeronimo Pro. This is how I know that Win2K has the corrected version of the Appian Graphics Jeronimo driver available. Without the dual-head Appian card, I wouldn't have known there is a certified Jeronimo Pro driver available (since my 4-port got the PERMEDIA2 drivers from the plug and play feature). Together I have 6 monitors plugged in on my Win2K system. Lesson I learned from using Win2K, if there is a certified driver from Win2K that support your peripheral hardware, use it instead of the manufacturer's version of the Win2K. Hope it helps.... MS
