Can''t load the game with a GF FX 4200

Yeah, yeah, I know, "GeForce FX 4200 sux." But when I try to run it, I see a blank screen, none of the activity lights are flashing, and the game doesn't load. Before, when I had a Geforce 4 MX (I have a history of cheap, crappy knockoffs of good video cards) it worked fine. What could the problem be?

Couple of things.

Go to nVidia and get updated drivers.

Check DXDIAG to make sure that there are no conflicts.

Possible reinstall Direct X.

Most probably a Detonator drivers issue. You must uninstall previous drivers in order for the new ones to work properly. Also the GF FX 5200 (it's not 4200) requires Detonators 44.03 or higher for the CineFX engine to work properly.

Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

just update your driver, run a direct x diagnostic on everything that it will let do that, and get the latest version of direct x. one question: i'm not sure but did you downgrade your driver? make sure that you check the freelancer box on the back it has system requirements. if none of that helps i don't know what will
