Points for Tim The Toolman
Well Tim,
Here's what I have on the XP system:
No mfc32.dll at all. Not listed in the driver file details, nor found in a search of the drive.
The Nvidia DLLs are all dated 3/9/2002. I downloaded the files on 4/4.
Sumarizing the DirectX report;
With the exception of 4 files, all DirectX DLLs are dated 8/17 and 8/23 2001
d3d8 is 11/9/01
dxmasf 10/4/01
mciqtz 3/22/98
qdvd 11/9/01

I remember being warned that the drivers were not signed when I installed them.
Under 98, there are 70 Nvidia files in the System folder dated 3/9/02
Most of the DirectX files are dated 10/30/01. Numerous files have an older date.
Double check the date and revision of the file vgartd.vxd it should match the other Nvidia driver files.
I assembled a system with an S3 Savage 4 card (don't ask).
The system passed the Direct 3D tests the first time!
I sent Clark my results.
Here is the link to Clarks question.

I'm rateing this as unacceptable so that we can keep up the dialog.

Thinking about your DirectX problem, I have been looking over my XP system that has a GeForce 2 MX200 32MB card installed.
ASUS A7V
Athlon 950 MHz
768MB PC 133 SDRAM
It passes all DirectX diagnostics tests.
Do you have driver file 28.32_winxp and 28.32_win9x downloaded from Nvidia's driver page and installed?
Looking at the driver file details from device manager, I see the following:
NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro
64 DLL and EXE files all revision 6.13.10.2832
58 HLP files with no revision listed.
I have a Windows 98 system with an AMD K6-3/400 with a Nvidia Vanta 8.
This system froze on the Direct 3D test utill I updated it to the 28.32 driver. (forgot to check what revision the old driver was)
If you want, I could send you the DirectX diagnostic test file for both systems. Perhaps, you can track down a missing or wrong revision file.
Either leave me an e-mail address, or send an e-mail to me at thechas2000@yahoo.com
Consider the feedback and points a gimmie for all that I have learned from reading your answers to questions.
