Hello all.

I got some problems with my graphic card. I have a nVidia geforce2 MX400 agp with 64mb. My computer works fine with the last version of omegadrivers, i don't now the version number yet. I installed HL², and tried to play cs:source, but the game told me, i have too old drivers installed. I downloaded the new version of the omegadrivers (16693_7z) , and installed them. But the game said the same s*** again^^. K, i uninstalled the omegadrivers, and i downloaded the original driver from the nvidia hp (v.77.72). lol, since them, the game wont start, i get some errors like "Video mode warning - Failed to set video mode - resetting to defaults. Game will now start with the new video settings." This s*** pupups 3 times, then comes a new window: "Video mode error - Failed to set video mode. This game has a minimum requirement of DirectX 7.0 compatible hardware." grrrr

, i have directx 9.0c installed, and i dont now whots wrong =(. and nview can't clone my desktop to my tv, too...

What can i do to fix that problem?

Thanks to all,
greez Rockafella

i have no idea how to fix it, but i suggest you to purchase a stronger video card

you have direct x 9 c installed but your card does not support 9c. Check the min requirements by valve.... i do not think the gf2 cards make it.

that is extremely odd, Rockafella.
I'm not actually sure if the GeForce2 MX is supported though. But considering that the GeForce4 MX was supported and its basically an super-clocked GeForce2 MX, I dont' see why your card couldn't play. Did you use DriverCleaner Pro to clean out your drivers?

@ishic: thx, but i have to pay a new computer, so i cant buy a newer graphic card^^ i have no money

@dailyus: directx 9c works on my computer bevore i installed the newer omega drivers. i've played my cs:source a long time bevore them, and my nview works fine. my gf2 card made it^^ but now....notshing.

@fobis: i have uninstalled the drivers manually. should i clean them out with this drivercleaner pro? i test it soon, so i can tell you whats up after them^^ im a greenhorn

And: Sorry for my bad english, english lessions are my sleeping time at sch00l xDD
