My daughter plays the on-line game World of Warcraft.. Having had frree
month and now subscribed problems are occuring which I think I've diagnosed
to the installed graphics card. The Device Manager shows this with
exclamation mark and a device status of "The Device cannot Start (Code 10)
The card is physically a LeadTek Winfast A170 DDR however the driver is
shown as a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440. The LeadTeK device looks like it uses
Nvidia chips.
I have downloaded the latest driver for this device from both LeadTek and
Nvidia. I have installed both and some stage.
The first time Device Manager shows OK (no exclamation mark). Reboot
system, check Device Manager and exclamation mark back again !!!
It doesn't matter what driver I put in to "correct problem", initially
(after uninistall and add new hardware) appears OK in Device Manager then on
reboot shows as in error.
What I'm finding is that when Device Manager shows all OK (no exclamation
mark) but the graphics settings are at 640 x 480, though screen looks 1024 x
768. The game won't play (says check 3D acceleration, DirectX and driver
version) until I change the settings to 1024 x 768. Once done game plays.
All OK until next reboot/turn on where I have to unistall driver, Add
Hardware etc and change display settings. A workaround yes but.........
Nvidia declare error as......
"The Code 10 error is most often a result of not having the option "Assign
IRQ to VGA" enabled in your motherboards system BIOS."
I use a ASUS A7V33 motherboard and can't find this particular setting (??)
so at a lose as what to do next. Appreciate Help
