Geforce4 MX 420 PCI

[Epsilon514]

I'm starting to have major texture/lag problems ever since I upgraded to Windows XP. Yes, I've downloaded the latest driver for it, but I'm still getting problems.

My video card is a Geforce 4 MX 420 PCI (64Mb) on:
HP Pavilion 6736
Intel Celeron 667 Mhz
384 RAM
28 Gig HD

The games I'm having problems with are:
Quake 3 Arena
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Deer Hunter 5

Every single one of these games worked perfectly on Windows 98. I'm positive all these games work with XP except for Deer Hunter 5 which I'm not sure anymore. I have tried running the games in compatability mode for a previous OS but I get the same crap. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

The only thing I can suggest is that, even though your system is adaquate for running xp I'd look at upgrading the ram and cpu. XP can be a real resource hog. Also look at:
