Default Videocard trouble
Hi everybody!
I probably have a trouble with my videocard (I've got GeForce MX-440). It shows black stripes from time to time, especially when I try to play games ("Heroes" are a complete disaster!). Could anybody give me advice?

As always make sure you have the latest drives.

Select graphics drivers, geforce and tnt and then your operating system. It will take you to a download page.

The MX440 is an old card and does not support all the latest game texturing features. The software drivers compensate for missing hardware. If this does not help an older driver may actually work better.

Post back and ask if anyone is using your problem games with an MX 440 and what driver they are using.
