Vista - nVidia Geforce 6200 Issue

TimmyTim2 · 01-04-2009

I have problems with my Video Card, I know that the problem is not Hardware, Cause the card works Fine with XP. |||Video Card: nVidia GeForce 6200 (PCI)(BFG) Motherboard: Azus P4S333|||
A High Graphics game i have suggests its a Directx 10 error, i was wondering if you could help me to get rid of DX10 and help me get DX9.0 on my system. I am currently running Vista Home Basic, but i am upgrading to Buisness in literatly 2 hours from now. my dad just left to buy it! If i do figure out that the Problem with this Card is not a Driver Issue but instead a DirectX issue, it will help alot of ppl. Do a Serch on the net. Bunch of ppl have the same problem!

You can't get rid of DX10, but you can install DX9 from here
Download details: DirectX End-User Runtime

Your card is an entry level card for DX10, so it will work with DX10, but probably won't play too many of the newer games, if any. It is basically to give you access to the Vista Aero component.

Try downloading and installing the latest Nvidea driver for your card here

the 6200 is not a DX 10 card, DX 9 only (9.0c actually). What it was was Nvidia's first entry level SM3 card.

the game giving the issue was "4x4 Evolution 2" i think its by terminal reality.
and when i go to install DX 9.0c it give this error "Directx is already up to date, no installation needed." and no i didnt waist my time trying your suggestion, thats just common scence

TimmyTim2 · 01-05-2009

oh! and of course my drivers are up to date, i make sure on that every 2 weeks!

Just downloaded the free version of this game from here,

http://vales.com/evo2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19931

and it ran no problems here on my system (see specs). Didn't even need to install it, just unzipped it and ran the exe, and away it went.
