MX440-SE driver problem

[allburnintegrated]

Hi,
I've got a computer that has a Nvidia MX440-SE and I'm having problems with it. I have just installed directX 9.0c and the latest Nvidia universal drivers and whenever I boot, it goes all distorted and random lines appear on it. When I run it using Windows 2000 VGA mode, it works fine. It only started happening once I installed the drivers and directX 9.0c. I am running Windows 2000 SP3. I can't revert to the old drivers as I don't have the original CD. I am not sure what manafacturer the card is.

I will really appreciate any help you can give, the computer is not mine and the owners will be very unhappy with me if I can't fix it.

Did you use the driver from here if your having trouble with it you can roll back to the previous driver going into device manager and choose the video card go to the driver tab and click the roll back.

You could have got a bad file(download), try re-downloading it and try it again and see if you get the same results.

I'm running Windows 2000, it doesn't have roll back. Yes I am using those drivers, I originally installed the drivers from a computer magazine CD (it was version 65.xx I think) and it happened. I then tried downloading from that link you gave me and it finished downloading in about 10 mins over 56k (22MB in 10 mins, I can't understand that). I am using Firefox, I've heard of that heppening before, the download finishing too quickly but I don't have time to start the download again. The older version should work shouldn't it? The magazine was an April 05 edition.

I just heard that the MX440 only supports Direct X 8.1, is this true? I installed 9.0c, would this cause the problems? I'm looking for 8.1 now

[allburnintegrated]

Is it possible to revert Direct X 9.0c to a previous version? I downloaded 8.1 and installed it and dxdiag still says it is version 9.0c?

[allburnintegrated]

So does nobody have any ideas? Is reinstalling Windows the only way to revert to an older version of Direct X?

Did you check this Program?

The MX440-SE only supports Direct X 8.1 and lower. I have the MX440-8X which does support Direct X 9.0c. What's the specs on this computer and have you run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool? Click Start>Run and type dxdiag.exe, once there you can run tests to determine how or what to fix.

You can install 9.0C with cards that don't support it - all it means is that DX9 is going to run in software emulation. It's not going to cause problems like you are having.

Here's all the older drivers:
