Irrlicht 1.1 does not work at all with the latest nvidia driver 91.47 under both windows 2000 or XP, we are using an nvidia FX 5500 TD256. Any hint ?

"Does not work" means what exactly?

"does not work" mean that when i launch any of the orrlicht examples nothing happen !
We tested with two graphic cards FX 5500 256TD, so i guess they are not bad. More the openGL driver work well.

Run it from command line and see what messages you get there.

Are you recompiling the engine, or using the default DLL?

If you're recompiling, check your IrrCompileConfig.h and make sure DX9 is being compiled.

What Compiler are you using, and what DLL?

Probably Dev-Cpp as IDE or MSVC with gcc dll

Irrlicht 1.1 was compiled with the DX9 driver.
I figured out the problem, my FX 5500 256TD is dual screen.
For a reason that i can't understand, windows 2000 has set the primary screen with only DDRaw enabled, all the rest is disabled. With the secondary screen every thing is enabled and i can run on it irrlicht without any problem.
So this is not an irrlicht bug.
Does any one know why windows 2000 does not handle two accelerated dual screen ? cause it worked now well under windows XP.
