i got my comp in 2002 and it came with the aforementioned card. At first it was running fine, but recently it has been giving my problems. I installed Homeworld:Cataclysm (retail version) and then un-installed it after beating it. BEfore i could install it i d/led sum a driver for the game. However, when i updated my driver recently and then tried to re-install the game it would not run under openGL, the mode i originally played it under, it also didnt run in the regular software mode or the D3D mode. I tried to install the latest driver for the card (NVidia: Detonator Driver v45.23 WinXP: 2000) and the game still didnt run.
Should i try to re-install all of the drivers starting from the first one and then continuing until the most recent? This problem doesnt make sense because if i could get the game working on my old driver, why doesnt it work now? :blink: :blink: Is there anything i could have changed by accident or is there sumthing i have to enable? :blink:

btw, i forgot to mention, its a geforce 2 card :D
Somebody1234, i cant seem to get into the site ;) , is that a dead link?

The link should be good. It works for me.
The latest detonators and that site still applies for the GeForce 2. And that's what I thought right away because the mx400 is a GeForce 2.
