Hardware
i would like to know, if my Display Card is GF2 MX400, around 1 year, is there any installation problem with XP?? Some people said that may be the Display Card bios driver is not compatible with Windows XP.
If this is the right answer, how can i upgrade my Display Card driver??

Check the HCL to determine if the card is compatible to Windows XP
Using the W2K drivers may be the solution,since both OS's are based on NT

There have been numerous reports of difficulties getting DirectX to run properly in XP with several different NVidia based cards.
I am not personally aware of any specific GF card that does not function under XP.
Remember, that there are many different GF2MX400 cards. Some mfgs use the refernce BIOS and drivers for the GF2 chip. While others customize the BIOS and drivers to "optimize" performance.
NVidia is on their 3rd set of "reference" drivers since XP was released.
I have different GF2 MX 200 cards in 2 different XP machines with no "difficult" problems.
Just download the latest XP drivers from either the card mfg, or Nvidia.
As to the video BIOS, that is only available from the actual company that made the video card.
For some of the more "popular" cards, some of the game and tweak sites may have 3rd party drivers.

I have amny a time corrected a video problem by updating the BIOS on the motherboard.
