GeForce 3 Nvidia Demos

I had a GeForce 2. I had a GeForce 3. Now I have a GeForce 4. After I got the GeForce 4, I realized Nvidia realeases demos for their cards to show off what they can do. I find these demos absolutley stunning. I love Nvidia for it.

I have always wanted to see the Inferno demo that Nvidia has on their website, but they only give you an option of watching the video.

I was watching an old video review from www.3dgameman.com (GREAT SITE, funny guy) where he revied the GeForce 3. He had a demo CD that came with the card and on it was the INFERNO demo! I started on a mad hunt to find it to download.

Well, Ifound it, along with TONS of other GeForce 3 demos from some website.

I CAN'T WATCH THEM!

Every single demo gives me an error, or doesn't start, or freezes.

Oh, I was so close....

Your using the official nvidia drivers with direct x 8.1 or later right? If you got the nvidia drivers from microsofts database then that can only be trouble as they seem to be stripped down.
I haven't had a problem with any of the demo's, the last gefore card i had came with the whole collection of demo's, but not any of the geforce 4 ones as they weren't out yet.
I had tried them out on my geforce 4 ti card and got all the rest later from them and haven't had a problem with them yet.
Unles you don't have the hardware acceleration ( right click on desktop > properties > go to the settings tab > click the advanced button and find the troubleshooting tab with hardware acceleration) or direct draw or direct 3d disabled (by going to start > run > type dxdiag)
Then i'm stumpped on what's wrong.
