Nvidia Corporation - Video - NVIDIA GeForce2 MX

This post is just for general information and does not require a reply.

In updating my OS, I downloaded, Nvidia Corporation - Video - NVIDIA
GeForce2 MX, along with some software additions via CD ROM. When I restated
my computer to initialize this update, my dispaly resolution was corrupted.
Thinking this was a result of my using an unauthenticated spftware from the
CD ROM, I unistalled the software and used System Restore to recover my
display properties. I again re-updated the, Nvidia Corporation - Video -
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX file from the Microsoft update site, only to find upon
restart that my display rsolution was again corrupted. I uninstalled this
update, restarted my computer and regained my display's properties.

I do not know how, or why, the Microsoft Update site identified the Nvidia
Corporation - Video - NVIDIA GeForce2 MX file as a viable update for my OS. I
am sure it is human error on my part.

Hi there,

Never take drivers from Windows update, if REALLY needed take updated
drivers from the manufacturers site to avoid problems.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

Yeah, i've seen that one before, the geforce driver update ( in XP) is
a bad, bad one. NOT your fault.

The solution is to download the proper driver from nvidia's website.

This revision should do, though it's possible a higher numbered one
will work.
