Forceware 93.71 driver update for GeForce 4 MX 440

You are using an antique GPU. Are you having problems with the current driver? Improvements to that series wouldnt have been made in years as far as drivers go...

That driver version was form the 7000series days, it is probably (even though it is listed as supported) not teh best one to isntall as it is from a day far beyond the card you have.

Well the thing is the architecture of that card is pushing 10 years old (The MX is just a rebranded GF2). The Forceware 90, while perhaps the oldest drivers nvidia keeps on archive is probalby 3 years or so newer than what you are looking for..

That and im not sure what you mean by monitor adapter but it isn't possible to connect an analog output to a digital input without some sort of conversion going on somewhere, this card certainly has no AtoD built in. (apple cinema is an video in using a dvi?)

Aye, the adapter is just that, it connects pin x to pin y, it does not convert the signal in any reguard.

That adapter, although the opposite of it is more common, would be to adapt a dvi cable to plug into a vga display (most adapters go on the other end and adapt a vga cable). Regardless though, these kind of things require the source (you video card) to be able to detect it is plugged into analog/digital and convert its signal accordingly. Your source cannot do that, regardless of drivers.

What happens with a modern dvi port is that it can also output an analogue signal when required. An vga port cannot output a digital signal though, which is what you are trying to do. The card simply will not, does not, and can not support a dvi only monitor.
