Where do i get the latest driver?

hi guys, i just registeres because i saw some posts here when i searched on google, and it looks like a pretty helpful forum. Basically, im trying to get World of Warcraft to work, and it might be my video drivers that arent up to Date. Heres the message that comes when i try to run it;"Your 3D accelerator card is not supported by World of Warcraft. Please install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support.". The game worked fine on the same card before the last patch. Heres the info on my Video things hehe.

Device:
Name:NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 200
Manufacturer: NVIDIA#
Chip type:GeForce2 MX 100/200
DAC Type:Integrated RAMDAC
Approx. Total Memory: 32.0 MB
Current Display Mode: 1152 x 864 (32bit) (60Hz)
Monitor:Plug and Play Monitor.

Heres the information under Drivers.

Drivers:
Main Driver:nv4_disp.dll
Version:6.14.0010.4523 (English)
Date:28/07/2003 15:19:00
WHQL Logo'd: N/A
Mini VDD: nv4_mini.sys
VDD:N/A
DDI Version: 9 (or higher)

I know the card is pretty old, but it worked before so why doesnt it now? Please post any information to help me about this, and please someone post a link for the latest driver, i dont know much about drivers and which ones are the latest and which ones arent.
Thanks!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.


First go to the Nvidia website, and download the version 61.77 drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp you will find the 61.77 drivers in the driver archive.

Then go to the Microsoft website, and download DirectX 9.0c. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You can find the games system requirements HERE


Regards Howard

You may find in big cities and during raids with a lot of online users, the game will get laggy. Lot of players recommend between 512-1024MB RAM for smooth game play.

Hi, I am having the same problem as above! But my video thing is a Trident Video Accelerator Blade 3D/ProMedia
I have tried to download different 3D Accelerators but they did not work, such as ATI. I also have followed the instructions that were above but that did not work also!
Could anyone help me with this problem?
Thanx

I'm getting the same message too.
I'm running an Athlon 1Ghz T-bird, 512MB Ram, and an S3 Savage 2000 64MB video card (AKA Diamond Viper II Z200).
I've found that the Diamnd and S3 websites either don't have any updated drivers, or their drivers don't open or instal correctly. Any suggestions, or should I finally just give up on this card that always has driver issues and spend the bucks to replace it?

if you are using Cosmos and are running it in open gl stop and you should be able to play, however it will be extremely laggy.
