| | nvidia mx400 pci video card I am trying to run dual monitors on my computer. I was previously running windows xp pro just fine with dual monitors. I am now plunged into vista. Since then the system will lock up when the mx400 is in place to run the second monitor. it does not do it when it is not installed. Does anybody know where a vista driver can be gotten. Or have any suggestions. Microsofts driver does not seem to work. I can't afford to go and spend any more money on the machine to upgrade. Thanks in advance. -- Brian Systems technician |

| | Re: nvidia mx400 pci video card It appears that nVidia does not support the MX 400 card under Vista. There are no Vista drivers at nVidia's site. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

| | Re: nvidia mx400 pci video card i saw that but i guess i didn't clarify myself and i'm sorry. But will microsoft be making any changes to their existing drivers? or is there a way around this other than buying a new card? thanks -- Brian Systems technician "Cal Bear '66" wrote: Quote: > It appears that nVidia does not support the MX 400 card under Vista.

| | Re: nvidia mx400 pci video card Microsoft does not write device drivers. The Vista graphics subsystem is already written. Microsoft is highly likely to tweak it, but if nVidia does will not write drivers for their older cards, there is nothing Microsoft can do. You can get a very good (not gaming -- but will fully support Aero) for around $50 US. I have recently seen an nVidia 256MB 7600GS for about that price. and even a lesser card will support Aero..
