Battlefield 1942 on Geforce 440 MX doesn't work

[guaraguao]

(I tried posting this in Tech Support, but got only 1 reply suggesting that I ask over here in Video. Sorry for the crosspost.)

I am able to run Quake and Half-Life perfectly. I just installed the latest NVIDIA drivers. Is there any hope for me to get this game to run? (The dual screens has not caused a problem in the past, but I tried disabling the secondary and it didn't make any difference)

Running Windows 2000 AS, 512M RAM.

Here's the log file:

It sound liked the game is misreporting your card as GeForce4 MX's don't have pixel shaders but do have Hardware T & L and can do vertex shading in software. I guess you'll have to wait for a patch (which is inevitable, anyways) that supports the GeForce4 MX correctly.

use the 27.42 drivers. I downgraded to them and it now works.
