Does this board have integrated SiS graphics at all? You should grab one of the driver cleaner programs and destroy all video card drivers, then grab the latest dets.

reformatted comp
same prob

Also cud this be a prob with the geforce mx not being digitally signed?

No. This is just MS spreading FUD about "unsigned" drivers, wrestling 3rd parties to participate in (and pay for) MS driver certification program.

The board has integrated graphics? If yes, then pull the card, sort out the drivers for the integrated one. THEN add the GF back in, and see what happens. If it's an AGP card, the SiS unit should disappear. If it's PCI, it'll remain and the two will coexist.

It's very likely an AGP card...if you look inside...it will be in a slot closest to the processor, PCI means it uses one of several slots on the board (there can be 2-6 of these and they are generally white/cream).

Or I think if you tyep dxdiag in the run box and have a scan through there...it should say in there too
