PvK: Weird. I have a GF4Ti4200 and have no trouble with D3D and DX9.0c. I use the 56.64 drivers under Win98 (the later drivers are directed at their newer hardware, and only cause problems for the GF4 series in my experience). Which drivers do you use??

Thats because the Ti4200 was the only card in the Geforce 4 series that wasn't craptacular

Apparently so. I have a "NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000" in this machine. Driver Version: 6.14.0010.8198 (English) on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition (5.2, Build 3790) Service Pack 1 (3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447).

At home I use Win98SE and have no probs with that GeForce card on DirectX 9, unless it's a Microsoft game programmed to refuse to install on Win98 (e.g. Fable: The Lost Chapters, which I haven't been able to get to run on 5 different computers).

Okay, I should preface this post with an apology- I simply forgot to post a reply here. This post is now well past ancient.

The correct response to this problem is... drumroll... SHADOWCAT! There seems to be a problem with the most current drivers and GeForce 4 cards running WW. Downgrading works perfectly. Thanks for the help.
