Hi, I'm stuck getting OpenGL working on my Retro Super Socket 7 Board on Windows 2000 SP4.
I've tried many old videocards and it seems that only nvidia cards have that problem and it seems not related to the type (AGP/PCI - problem exist on both types).
With ATI Cards or 3DFX (Voodoo 3 3000) it is fine and OpenGL is working like it should.
The strangest thing is if I install W9X on the system OpenGL is running fine on my NVIDIA Cards too - Problem exist on Win2k SP4 (only tested with SP4) and WinXP
If I try to run a Game or the Windows 2000 OpenGL Screensaver then the Dialog/Game crashes or with other nvidia driver versions there is no hardware acceleration on the screensaver and games (Quake3 / Half-Life WON) refuses to start (Video Mode not Supported).

On other Systems (Socket A Atlon XP2400+) all cards work fine as expected...

Something to add here: DirectX Acceleration on the problematic system is working as expected...

System specs:
Mainboard: MSI5169 Ver:4
RAM: 2x 256MB PC133
CPU: AMD Athlon K6-2 350MHz

NVIDIA cards tested:
GF4 MX440 AGP
Quadro 400NVS PCI
GF6200 AGP
GF8400 PCI

Hope somebody has some suggestions to solve my problem.
