<p>I would recommend, if you haven't already, updating the drivers for your particular card? Granted, the GeForce 4 MX drivers haven't had an update since late '06, but it may should this case. You can obtain them <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71_2.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>Also you mentoned having the latest DirectX version. Do you know if that's the March '09 version or slightly earlier/later?</p>

It changes often due to patches/game updates. It won't ever show today's date because the releases/updates are finalized before they are released to us so they show an earlier date.
