yeahh done that Lamsey...the new drivers are for all cards..I install and some games work,the ones that did dont anymore lol.

Maybe if I take the card out and delete all the drivers ?
Start fresh...I dunno.

The cd that came with the card wont run on xp either !!

OK, what kind of card is it? I'm guessing Geforce4 MX 4?0 - many people have had problems with this kind of card. If you're running with an AMD CPU then there's a patch somewhere which improves Windows compatibility with AMD CPU / GeForce Graphics combinations...

Other than that, I can't help :(

Anyone else got any ideas?

I have the same problem when I go to

Display properties>settings>advanced>adapter (type)

sometimes it says 64 sometimes 32 sometimes even 16 (mb)!

I noticed, however, by rebooting I get different values.

I have the 44.03 set and a geforce mx 420

If you are familiar with BIOS, try adjusting the AGP arpeture size to 128 if it is not already there. ;)

The patch is included somewhere in Xteq Systems' X-Setup as far as I remember.

You can download X-Setup for free here (http://www.xteq.com/downloads/#xset).
