Problem with GeForce2 MX(400) 32MB video card. Running 3DMark2000 in 16-bit 1024x786 and even PCMark2002 under Windows ME I am having major display issues. I ran it under WinXP on the same system and didn't have any issue. Could this video card be failing? I am running the latest driver I found on the nVidia website for this version of windows. If I change to 16-bit mode for windows there is no issue. I ran a couple of games and didn't have any issues.

Don't use the latest nVidia driver on Windows Me, it has quality and stability issues. Try with an older drive that the GeForce2 MX supports.

It is unlikely that the video card is failing if it worked fine in Windows XP with those same benchmarks.

I would stick with the earliest driver version that doesn't give you problems.
Depending on the CPU you are using, the driver overhead from later versions can adversely impact performance.
