are your drivers up to date ?

 

[maverick185]

Yes. But tell me where do u find an update for geeforce mx440? I mean thta's little old.

 

[Me__2001]

try nvidia's site

 

[crazylegs]

If operation Flashpoint is a relatively new game then unfortunately your mx440 probably isn't supported...as it is definitely not directx 9 compatible, and flashpoint probably is a directx 9 game....

 

[maverick185]

Well maybe directx 9 isn't compatible, like u said, with my vid card so u suggest that i instal a lower directx?

 

[maverick185]

and flashpoint has directx 8 on the cd to install.

At nvidia site they only have drivers for new vidcards.
