G-force MX440 Problems

Fri Dec 05, 2003 9:12 pm by Fangs2000

I have recently upgraded a computer to the same spec as mine. Mine plays freelancer but the new one does not. Complains there is no graphics card and it cannot be played. The graphics card is the G-Force MX440 and mine is a 4x while the new is a 8x. I have the latest drivers and direct x. Are there any software out there to change the settings for the g-force cards.

Any system spec you want to know I will supply just ask

BTW, the parts which are the same are the motherboard, graphics card, sound card, modem and processor.

Many things happen to the operating system when you upgrade the system.
Some questions need to be answers.
Did you update the hardware and keep the same hard drive with the same install of windows on your system?
What version of windows do you have?
If you didn’t reformat the system and reinstall windows what was the previous video card in the system?

Now without knowing the answers to these questions I can however provide some support here.
Since the Nvidia chipset uses mostly the same drivers as all of its other cards, if you had another GeForce or Nvidia card in your system the old drivers will still be in there, the only way to correct this is to Uninstall the Video Card from the device manager and remove the main driver files. Here is a list.
Windows\system32\nv4_disp.dll
Windows\system32\nvcpl.dll
Windows\system32\nview.dll
Windows\system32\nvwddi.dll
And also remember that you can delete these files when in windows but they will regenerate in seconds. So they must be removed from save mode.
Once that is done windows will choose a generic driver for the display, this is when you go and download the nvidia drivers.
Here is the link.
WINXP/WIN2000 - http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/53.0 ... h_whql.exe
Win9x - http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/53.0 ... nglish.exe

Install the drivers and then reboot your computer. This should correct any issues with it not finding your card.
If you still get the error run the DirectX diagnostic tool and see if you can find any errors with the display and direct x files. Do do this click START – and click RUN. Type DXDIAG and the rest is pretty self explanatory.

Let me know if this doesn’t work and or you have answer to the questions listed above.

Or go to properties of My Computer>Hardware>Device manager
choose Display adapters>MX440 and uninstall the driver. restart.
Now either INSERT disk supplied with the card or try using windows's build in drivers.

Or upgrade the driver you have with the one from update.microsoft.com.

Or take a big gun, preferably fathers hunting dual shotgun. Baretta also would be ok and shove it up resellers a*s, make a demend ATI9800. If the seller refuses just rotate the gun. Note: no shoting will be needed. oh yea you just could buy it.

btw: i have the same card, it works ok on my end.
