The error you get when clicking on the Nvidia tab is not good...usually means something is corrupt/missing in your windows installation or video driver installation. That can happen for various reasons and isint just a newbie mistake


If a quick fix is possible:I would uninstall and re-install your video card drivers and see if that fixes any of the problems. Also try re-install of Direcy X and possibly go up to Direct X 9.0b even tho your card is of the DX7 generation.

If still no joy, then unistall MTW and make sure you delete the entire folder afterwards before re-installing it and directly after (before playing)defrag your hardrive(s).

If none of these work, well your having some bad luck my friend You might have to re-install your OS (windows XP) and reformat your hardrive that contained the windows system files. Try the other things first
