you must forgive my complete lack of computer savvy. But Im just trying to play medieval total war and my main video driver keeps pooping out and i can't quite figure it out.
I have a geforce4 card and am running on XP
the error message contains nv4.dll which is listed as the main driver in my diagnostic.
Can i change drivers? I have the latest updates from nvidia but they do nothing.
Can anyone help
Thanks

Ive done this more than once.
It has not corrected the problem.
Ive even tried a different card and still did not fix it.
Is there anyway to install just a 3D driver and not change the main driver?

There's no such thing as a 3D driver or a main driver. There's just one video card with one driver for it.

Ive been looking at other threads in this forum and there are discussions of kernels. I don't know anything about this, what are these?

They don't apply to you.
Try an older version of the Detonator drivers. 31.08 sticks out for some reason, or maybe it's 41.09.
