    Well, ok. I did it. I killed windows 2K when I OCed my POS GF2MX to 166 memory. Yes, thats right, 166. The default speed of the GF2MX memory on every other card than mine<IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> Anyways, I OCed it to 166, hit "test", and got the full screen coruption that can only mean memory failure. Ok, I already knew that my card couldn't get there, so I rebooted. Then a Very Bad Thing happened. Rivatuner had saved the clock settings without me telling it to. Now I can't get into Win2K at all, and I'd like to know 2 things: 1) Is this a bug? 2) I forgot the frikkin' reg settings for the coolbits. Can you tell me <i>Exactly</i> where to go to stop rivatuner from loading and also declock my GFX card to normal? I probably could figure out 2 but I thought I would go to the source.<IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> BTW: Cat made full recovery and is playing Quake 3 right now at 60FPS.<br><br><i>This message was edited by patock on 12 May 2001 11:53 PM</i>

    I.m not a specialist in 2000 but <br>
    1. Doesn't safe mode exist there too?<br>
    2. In 9x press CTRL and hold it as soon as desktop start to appear.
