Not really. You could try one of the Driver forums. might find someone who has found a substitute by trial and error.

Hi Bill Why not just buy a video card that will work with your system ? They make tons of video cards, they are cheap!, now days. No need to reinvent the wheel just need to use the right one..:) =========

Your question isn't on topic here, since it's about hardware, not about Windows. However, there are some aftermarket driver versions available that expand the range of Windows OSes that can be used with various Geforce and Radeon video cards. I think that I'm using such a driver right now (this PC I'm writing you with runs Win2K).

The ones I have are called "Omega" -- just do a Google to find the site. The video card I am using in my system is a four or five year old Radeon XP 850 XT Platinum, but I could have kept on using a 9800 XT that did have ATI's own support for W2K.
