Hi, I post this message because I think my video card has a problem, but I don't know how to find out if it has a problem or not.
So I'd like to know if there's a diagnosing utility to find out if my video card has or not problems.
My video card is an AGP nVidia GeForce 2 MX400 with 64MB.
Thanks a lot,
Mauricio.

You might want to try dxdiag in Windows XP. Just go to Start--->Run--->type in dxdiag and hit enter. You can run a series of tests on your video card there.

You can also try 3DMark, which is a free benchmarking utility that runs your card through a series of tests. It's at futuremark.com

Other than that, can you be more specific? What makes you think there's something wrong with your video card? Are you getting any specific errors?
