hey guys, any help would me much appreciated.

whenever i try to run a game of any sort that requires graphics ie underground 2, san andreas etc my direct x packs a fit. i have tried reinstalling the drivers for my comp, even the OS but nothing has worked. i have all the new nvidia drivers for my nvidia geforce 4 graphics card and the latest version of direct x -( 9.0c)

i have played this game before on this computer and it worked fine, i cant think of any thing that i havent checked.

the really weird thing tho is that my mate had a crack at fixing it and he installed some chipset drivers, this made it work untill i got it home then it went back to its useless self.

any help would be much appreciated.
