Hey, I was trying to play SOFII and I get this error:
"To play Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix, please verify that your card is OpenGL compliant. If it is, please update to the latest video drivers."

I have a ASUS 8460 Ultra (G4 Ti 4600) and I'm on WinXP. I tried downloading Detonator 40 from nvidia.com but when I try to install it, Windows says that the driver I'm trying to install doesn't seem to be an XP driver. It recommends me not to install it. What am I supposed to do? Thanks.

Computer specs:
OS: WinXP Professional Edition.
Mobo: Asus P4C800-DX.
Processor: P4 2.6 FSB 800.
V. card: Asus 8460 Ultra (G4 Ti 4600).
S. card: Creative SB Live! 5.1.

P.S: If I have to download a driver, could you give me the link?

I did download that file yesterday. However, Windows says that these drivers might not be compatible with WinXP and that I shouldn't install them. (?)

I've been trying the new drivers 44.03 and so on but are having serious problems with it, such as random reboots and such. All these are pointing to the driver (according to the error report). Where can I find the last, best driver for the NON-FX series boards? All these new are WHQL for the new FXs but have serious side effects on the non-FXs. I have tried this with five different computers with five different video cards. It does the same to all of them.

If 44.03 are not the drivers I should download, how do I update my v. card drivers, considering the card actually is opengl compliant (OpenGL 1.3). Can anyone with the same card and with WinXP give me a hand, please?

I tried to do that with my XP. Does it say something like its not
WHQL certified or something like that. If so then it is ok to install it because I did and it worked fine. Not sure why it says that but if you go thru the list and choose XP as your OS it will give the right driver to install. It will say something like driver not certified like stated above or something like it. GO ahead and install it will worked.
I have XP and a GF4 Ti4200 and those new 44.03 detonator drivers worked fine.
