<div class="IPBDescription">Doing.My.Head.In.</div> Hey guys a bit of help please. A friend of mine has a GeForce 4 MX 440 8x AGP and is currently using drivers shipped with Windows XP SP2. They won't run any OpenGL games, only D3D games and applications. We have installed official NVidiea drivers and Beta drivers from the past 3 months, none of which will allow the graphics card above 4bit colour.

I'm thinking it might need a BIOS update or something, anyone else got any ideas before we go down that line of action?

Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure what the problem in, but if recent drivers do no change, it's most likely something else, even conflicting drivers. Make sure you get DriverCleaner from Driverheaven and clean out old drivers before installing new ones.

    Also, go to Guru3D.com and check out their driver downloads. Lot's of modified drivers, tools and of course official WHQL drivers. They also have a large forum dedicated to drivers and they have alot of smart graphics savvy people who might just be able to help.

    It was all working fine before SP2 was installed. Guru3d.com drivers are the ones we used. WHQL and beta. No drivers were installed before hand which is why I'm thinking it might be something to do with the BIOS software. I will wait over night and see what other people think before going ahead anyways.

    Yeah silly. GF MX 4 440 doesn't need extra power <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Truth. I have the same 'century old' GeForce 4 you are speaking of.

    I'd boil it down to either motherboard drivers, or driver conflict. I've never had this problem happen to me before though.
