Sometimes WinNT Drivers will work in Win2K, sometimes not. Is there a driver specifically for Win2K? If so, you should use it.

YOu are right, I checked the website. I'd say you are pretty screwed. You may try contacting Intel and asking if there are Win2K drivers available. Like I said above, sometimes NT Drivers work, sometimes they don't.
Your only other option is to get a new Video card. If this is an onboard video card you should be able to disable it in the bios. I have a Intel Nighshade motherbord with onboard video that is automatically disabled when I installed a Banshee card. You can pick up a cheap Voodoo3, ATI Rage, or nVidia geforceII MX/Gforce original.
