Nvidia troubles

[Howard Brazee]

I have a Geforce4 MX-440 AGP with 64 MB that I bought at Best Buy last June so
that I could have one card running my two monitors.

Ever since then I have had lock-ups and aborts. I turned off auto start in my
WINXP Pro machine, and shared my aborts with a different newsgroup, and
everybody said my aborts were due to driver problems. Some times my machine
stops, other times, the mouse is working over a background that doesn't get
updated. In the latter case, I can sometimes move a window from one monitor to
the other to get a refresh. But usually I have to press the off button to
reboot.

When it aborts, I often get a Microsoft Web page that doesn't think there is
anything wrong. I have no idea why it opens my browser, recognizing there's a
problem, and then doesn't know about it.

I check the http://www.nvidia.com site daily to see if there is a release more
recent than 45.23.

I haven't found any place to share my problem where Nvidia might find my
experience useful to fix this bad problem.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hello

Another option why not repalce the card with a different one
since your having so many issue's, that's an option that you have

I guess I wasted my money. But I purposefully did NOT buy the most current
card, hoping to avoid such problems.

So how do I know which two-monitor card I can afford which will not give me
these same problems?

Hello

Well one thing you can do a research first in the future because
differentr cards do different things and all depends on how the card
will be used. From reading your message seems like you have been
having problems with that particular card from the start, and that
should have been a warning to you. Have you maybe considered
using an ATI video card, the 7500, 8500 or the 9200. One more
thing and that is not the most current card out their.
