Two things I hadn't done in quite the order as before I ended up trying were the
key. I discovered that the base 640 by 480 PCI driver in W2K had two varieties --
the one in Safe Mode is better. The Omega drivers' install screens were understandable
that way.
That particular Omega still stopped short of finishing its driver install, perhaps
because I used Safe Mode, but all files were in place. I could open the Device Manager
and go to the VGA device, and in there, point at the correct driver. If I had used
the "normal" PCI VGA default, I had written down a "script" for the action buttons
on the screens from the Omega driver set.
I'd looked through each currently connected PC's drivers (there are usually 3 PCs
of my own, sometimes more), and the oldest of them did have relatively old Radeon
drivers for W2K, so I installed the Omega ones on it and recorded all the steps.
(I ended up not needing my script after all, but it was a good idea, and was suggested
by a member at AnandTech).
Thanks to everyone here who contributed!
