Posted August 27, 200519 yr I have an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X Graphics/video card (Not sure which) and windows isn't picking it up. About 2 months ago I did a repair installation to get my taskbar back (It just went, not a trace anywhere) and I lost most my drivers. Audio was reinstalled fine, however windows doesn't pick up my Craphics card. It knows there's one there or I wouldn't be able to see anything but it uses a default driver which is really crap. All I want to know is how to get windows to recognize it because untill then the drivers will not install. One thing, the card doesn't really want to come out of the slot. (The metal thing that holds it in that screws onto the PC case it kinda stuck)

Then go to "Add Hardware" in control panel and see if it will detect it from there. If not, go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Device Manager, and look under Display adapters and see if it is in there. Post what happens.
