Yes, I have already done so. However, as they are going into the weekend now, the reply might take a bit longer this time.

Graphics Card HWID:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0322&SUBSYS_290F107D&REV_A1\4&1AD7642&0&0058
Under Windows 2000, video playback only works correctly with the Administrator account. On other accounts (even administrator class accounts) the video on my monitor is very dark and on my TV (using full screen mode) it displays in Black & RED !!
Under Windows XP x64, when the monitor is turned off after 20 minutes of inactivity, it intermittently (about 50% of the time) won't turn back on again. It seems the PC responds to keyboard input (the HDD light activates) but the only way to recover is by hard reset.
In both cases, reverting to the earlier 71.84 drivers (before 7xxx series compatibility was added) fixes the problems.
And their response:

Hello Greg,
Thank you for contacting us here at NVIDIA Customer Care.
I understand from your email, that you are having issues while playing video files using GeForce FX 5200 graphics card.
In order to troubleshoot the issue you are facing, I suggest you to download and install 84.21 drivers for your graphics card. For clean installation of new drivers, Please uninstall the existing graphics drivers * (check the below mentioned steps) for GeForce FX 5200 graphics card. Download the Forceware 84.21 version of drivers from our website and disable onboard graphics adapter if any.
Please follow the steps mentioned below to download Forceware 84.21 versions for the GeForce FX 5200
Please visit the link below to download the driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html
On the following page, click on the "Primary Download Site" URL to download the driver. To avoid download issues, if you are running any 3rd party download utilities, please disable them as they are known for occasionally causing errors with the downloads.
* Once you download the file, Please perform the below mentioned steps to uninstall the drivers currently installed on your PC before installing the 84.21 drivers,
1) Right click on the My Computer icon on the desktop.
2) Select properties.
3) In the next window select Hardware and then select Device Manager.
4) On the Device Manager, under Display Adapters double click on the graphics card option.

NOTE- Before installing the new drivers please disable Anti Virus program if you are running on your computer.
Please get in touch with us, if you need further assistance.
Regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care.
So it seems they also recommend using older drivers, though I'll give them credit for a fast response (under 2 hours). Of course it does make a lie of the standard troubleshooting step of ensuring you have the latest drivers.
As to the swearing rules, a surprisingly large number of websites won't even allow you to use Rhett Butler's most famous line.
Edit:
Further investigation reveals that the last working driver version is 78.01, it seems the glitch was introduced in the 8x.xx forceware series.

There's no panic rush on this, besides as I multi-boot my PC I also have a Realtek NIC for maximum compatibility.
This post was more to call attention to a missing driver than a request/demand for immediate action.

Re: Older drivers possible? (11 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
No, I slipstreamed all the DriverPacks as I'm doing this primarily to test my Up-to-Date Win2000 project.
The packs do in fact install a driver, the problem lies with nVidia's quality control on their omnibus drivers.
It seems that only the current and immediately previous generation graphics chipsets are extensively tested before releasing drivers. So if you're using an older card that is nominally supported by the current driver series, you could be in for the odd nasty surprise.
These FX series cards are still being sold (cheap as chips) as it's all you really need if you are not a gamer.
[Opposite of Heaven], I'm still pissed off that they only ever released beta x64 drivers for nForce 3 series motherboards.

Just confirming that this issue has been fixed in the latest Mass Storage driverpack.
However, as no good deed goes unpunished, I've listed 2 other minor issues:

Topic: Older drivers possible? (11 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
Hello there,
I have a nVidia FX5200 graphics card, unfortunately the latest drivers do not work correctly with it under Windows 2000 (not sure about XP x86, but probably also stuffed).
The problem has to do with playing back media files in any account other than the Administrator, they come out very dark on the monitor and on my TV (using full screen video device) they are black and RED rather than colour.
Changing to the earlier 71.84 drivers fixes the problem, is it possible to alter the inf files so that users of these older cards get the more reliable driver?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.84.html
I suspect that nVidia does only the most basic of compatibility tests on their older hardware when releasing new driver versions as I also have problems under Win XP x64.
If I use the latest (x64) drivers then when my system turns off the monitor after 20 minutes of inactivity, nothing can make it wake up again. Again switching to the earlier 71.84 x64 drivers fixes the problem.
Edit:
Further investigation reveals that the last working driver version is 78.01, it seems the glitch was introduced in the 8x.xx forceware series.

Re: [SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Well after a considerable amount of trial and error I found that if I exclude the following 13 drivers the error is eliminated:
AM
AR
H-1
H-1-R
H-2
H-3
H-4
H-5
H-6
H-7
H-8
AD-1
IN-1
Note that I just worked my way down the list as I have no idea which mass storage devices are more common.
As I knocked out drivers the error changed from "ntfs.sys is corrupt" to "insufficient memory for ntfs.sys".
A vanilla Win2000 sp4 install disk only needs 12 drivers removed, my setup needed one more.
Unrelated minor bug (I doubt this is worth starting a topic on):
Due to the method I use to create an updated Win2000 install CD, I have to use the Custom Finisher method. However it always shows that I have selected GUI Run Once on the settings overview page (it's correct in the .ini file).

Re: [SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
That worked chief, mind you I had to be pretty brutal, KO'd at least 10 additional drivers before the error was cleared.
I also tried BASE 7052 / Mass Storage 705 on an unadulterated copy of Win2000 sp4, just in case my sp5 version uses more memory on setup (possible as sp5 supports large {>137GB} hard drives), however the same error occurs.

Re: [SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Unfortunately Base 7.05.2 still throws up the same errors:
Mass Storage 7.05 but no textmode >> OK
Mass Storage 7.05 >> ntfs.sys is corrupt
Mass Storage 7.04 >> Insufficient memory for ntfs.sys

Re: [SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Thanks for the information on the QSC.
In my case it made about 25 seconds difference, so I couldn't help but wonder "What's the point?"
I know this is probably a bit presumptuous but in that case I would suggest changing the text on the appropriate settings page in Driver Packs BASE from:
QuickStream Cache
Enable the QuickStream Cache (recommended)
Disable the QuickStream Cache
to:
QuickStream Cache
Enable (recommended for Slipstream method 1)
Disable (recommended for Slipstream method 2)

Re: [SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Yes, I am indeed aware of the need to delete the QuickStream cache manually, and did so whenever I changed driver packs.
However I do believe this should be clarified, it appears that the cache only applies to MassStorage textmode drivers, but this is not mentioned on the appropriate screen in DriverPacks Base.
It does say that you will have to delete unused caches occasionally, but does not say what actions will make this necessary.

Ok, using 7051 Base and 704 Mass Storage, there is still a fatal error, but a different one.

Re: [SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
I did not add any text mode Mass Storage drivers other than those in the driver packs.
I'm not sure about the memory limit, however all settings have been identical (Virtual PC 2007 with 384MB).
When the installation failed, I reinstalled Base version 7.04 (overwrote 7.05.1) and slipstreamed with the same settings and driverpacks (all current), it then worked.
The working directory was identical (as I was in problem solving mode, I'd backed up the nLite working directory).

Topic: [SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
If I slipstream the DriverPacks using the latest Base (7051) the installation fails prior to the partitioning stage with a "ntfs.sys is corrupt, setup cannot continue" message, it works fine under 704.
I'm nLiteing a Windows 2000 install disk as described at: http://www.msfn.org/board/HOWTO_fully_d … 97047.html
