The title says it all. And I have a Geforce 4 mx video card; that might help.

nvidia.com then find your card and update it with new drivers and such.

can't really help you, just wanna say be careful.

i was a big fan of warzone 2100 (would still be) 6 months ago when my video driver got corrupted or something. i tried to update it and everything seemed fine, until i started warzone. turns out my card, although it used to, no longer supports openGL, and to this day i have been unable to fix it.

this is not a cry for help, i've decided to just get a newer card.

It sounds like it defaulted to the Windows Default / Windows update driver which does not contain the OpenGL driver.

Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to update it because I went to nividia.com and I got really confused.

I really don't want to be rude, but it's very basic. Just go to the site, click the series your card is from then your OS and then it will take you to the dl screen.
