I have a GeForce 2MX400 AGP card and I downloaded the latest Detonator Drivers from the site, but when I install and reboot...the computer just goes to a black screen! =( Can someone point me in the right direction. I just got a new HDTV I would like to test some games on.

Have you tried booting into safe mode (press F8 before Win starts to load), then uninstalling the drivers to a previous release?
Hope this helps

when you say it goes to a black screen...when is it black? does the monitor never turn on? or does it go black after all the bios stuff and its booting windows?

I take it you upgraded your card. Is your AGP slot 2x compatible? If its an old board then it might be AGP 1x which isn't supported by the card, hence the black screen.
Whats the rest of your specs, if you can, inlcude your motherboard.

The Detonator include drivers for ALL NVIDIA cards including the Geforce 2.

The Detonator is BAD NEWS. you are better off keeping the drivers that windows gives it when you intalled the card.

Not really, all manufactures make their drivers based on the Detornators anyway. So they are always behind. NVIDIA's reference drivers (The Det's) are always better, and have been for me and I think a lot of people out there would agree with me. They are faster and give your card that better edge. Try a benchmark with your manufacturers ones then the latest Dets, and the Dets will come out on top!  |

Yeah, manufacturers' Geforce drivers rarely ecclipse nVidia's reference detonators - and they also generally are released much later after nVidia releases their drivers. Stick with the reference, as most developers use those for testing and not manufacturer specific ones.
The only nVidia drivers to surely stay away from are the ones that come with WinXP - just crap crap crap.
