I got an Nvidea "Geforce MX 4000" for my work computer. It is a 2000 pro with an AMD 850 processor, and I use it to run Vision
Vision lets me monitor other computers and give presentations controlling multiple computers at once. My onboard graphics card on my pc had about 32MB ram on it, this new one has 128 ram--which should make my Vision run better.
However, when I installed my new video card it does not show or behave as if the 128 ram is utilized. When I run "dxdiag" it shows the card but it says "Total Approximate Memory n/a" and Direct Draw acceleration, Direct 3D acceleration, and AGP texture acceleration are not available.
When I look at adapeter in display settings, it shows the card with 128 Total Memory.
Am I not reading dxdiag right and my video card is functioning properly, or do I have a hardware problem? Or could it be some other software issue?
I am trying to decide if I should exchange this card, upgrade the card, or get my money back.
I have tried the driver on the CD it came with, I tried the driver on Geforce's homepage, and I tried a driver on driverguide.com. I keep getting the same result.
GrrrARrgh! Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this or if I should return it? Thanks
