Strange Message after updating GeForce2 MX/MX400 driver
Using Windows Update on my XP Pro PC , I d/l and installed an updated
driver for my GeForce2 MX/MX 400 card. This changed the driver from Version 4.4.0.3 of 02/05/2003 to Version 5.2.1.6 of 6/10/2003. The P.C. seems to work OK after this upgrade but , if I now r.cl. on the DesktopPropertiesSettingsAdvanced and now click on the GeForce2 MX tab I get an Error Box which has " nvcpl" in the blue header band and , in the body of this is a large red X with the words " Catastrophic Failure " and "OK" iF "ok" is clicked the GeForce MX tab becomes blank and another white box is displayed with a little "toggle switch " which , if "toggled" simply makes the GeForce MX tab blank out all type on it . After experiencing this , I rolled back the driver update and all these symptoms no longer occurred . Can anyone explain what is happening here ? B.N. -- to reply by e-mail remove "admiral_"

The 5x.xx drivers are best used with the FX series cards. You're better off
trying the 45.23 driver for that older card. It's more stable. -- DaveW wrote in message ...

I'm using drivers 53.03 both on FX5200 and MX440 with no problems at all.

Nvidia 53.3 and 53.6 are both compatible with the MX series of cards, provided they are correctly installed and no files are left over from previous, older versions of driver and/or software files.
