Driver problems

[Guest]

Hi all,

I just bought the game and got the "directx 8 compatible hardware accelerator" message. My system specs are as follows:

Pentium III ~550MHz
128MB RAM
DirectX 8.0
nVidia GeForce2 MX-200 32MB
Windows 2000

Here's the problem: I read previous posts and figured I needed to update my driver for the video card. Per the instructions on nVidia's site, I uninstalled the old driver and tried to install the newer one (1.2.4.1). After I restarted my machine, I now get the message "This device cannot start (Code 10)". The only way I can get the card to work is if I install the orginal driver off of the CD.

nVidia doesn't seem to offer support (or at least something better than a short fax form at the back of the manual. If someone could help me with this issue, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Try to get an updated driver from your manufacturer's site, not Nvidia's. This might help.

Tried it and it didn't work either. Thanks for the reply though. I think I will just throw out this computer, pick myself up an abacus and some writing tablets, and move on with my life.
