System Specs: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 512 MB RAM Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 SE
I had the nvidia Geforce video card put in this computer in Feb. The store I bought it from and put it in said this would be a good card. Works fine for the most part, but I see that the drivers are unsigned. Found out while I was trying to update. Said that it didn't have the MS Logo and that I shouldn't install the update. The regular GeForce4 MX440 card has the MS Logo but mine is the special edition and was never tested to see if it works with XP. The drivers are actually Win2000 version 41.09 and I wanted to update to 43.45. Will it still work right if I update it to the new drivers anyway or am I better off getting a card that has been approved by MS? Thanks.

You never know if drivers will work correctly, signed or unsigned. I would certainly give it a try. If it doesn't work, just roll back to your older drivers. Don't let Microsoft dictate your actions more than necessary.
