NVIDIA GeForce 4 (Win XP) problems...

Sorry if this has been covered before--I searched, but didn't see it mentioned, so I figured I'd go ahead and ask.

My system is running windows XP (with service pack 2 and all that jazz) and has an NVidia GeForce 4 card (MX) ...Last night, I went to the NVidia website and got the latest drivers for it, since I hadn't done that in a while, and now my SL login screen is flat black.

No characters, no buttons, no graphics displaying. I can log in (I know where the button is even if I can't see it), and everything seems to display properly, but for the first few minutes, my av is also flat black and clothing textures won't display.

I've tried: Flushing cache, having my client re-check graphic software on login a couple of times, and neither of those fixed the problem, so... is there a fix, other than rolling back the drivers for my card?

I wouldnt recommend newest vid card drivers on a mx card, i forgot wich version you should use its pretty old driver version


...thinking thinking.... -.- gimme a few min's


This one i think would be best for SL-nvidia mx card

that one should work, yes its old, mx is to

Thankyouthankyou. Well, I've solved it for the moment by rolling back the drivers... one of these days, I'll get a new system and not have so many issues, hopefully, but thank you for answering.

Ya I was gonna suggest you go back to an older driver. I had the same issue, it was like I couldn't see lights and darks right in SL. Blacks had no definition and all lighting was off. Just put the old drivers back today and voila, things look normal again.
