Ok, this ain't about my question anymore, but i gotta find a palce to rant about the shit i've been going tru so far. 
As i said i had win2k running properly but with games crashing etc., prolly cos of crappy driver installation. Now, i'm playing a game, and it crashes once more (like all those times before when i just restarted the game or rebooted), i reboot win2k and it freezes on the loading screen every time. So, i format again, reinstall it, install mobo drivers first this time, and then install modem to get the SP's and updates for windows. BUT; when restarting it freezes AGAIN on laod screen, on exact the same amount of "loadness". I format AGAIN, and now immedeately install the modem, and BANG, freezes once more when i reboot after install.
Having restrained myself from kicking the living crap out of my wall, i decide to install win 98 again this time. After some initial problems with the modem, i manage to install it after all. (which was a relief) I also installed the Gfx card driver but NOT the mobo drivers because it has isseus with win98. When i start the install (with the cd ofcourse) it says "give me the win98 cd", but when i replace them the stupid explorerish screen keeps saying it's the nvidia cd in there.  That is to say, the cd icon changes, but the name stays "nvidia blabla".
So i think: mm, well, let's give it a go without the mobo drivers, install postal 2, and run it. Everything goes well, but when i'm 2 minutes in the game: CRASH and auto-reboot.
So: Win2k won't let me install my modem for some weird reason, which i was able to do a day ago. Win98 won't let me install my mobo drivers.
I SO hope XP isn't gonna give me that crap with my modem. I think my pc may a bit advanced for win98, but i don't got the slightest clue why win2k freezes on installation of my modem. After it went without any problems a day ago and after a format. Fucked up.
Guess i should be glad i managed to get on the internet tho.
