Oh, shi- (Driver stuff, help appreciated)

[Sharpshooter]

I just got my copy of The Movies in from Half.com, and needless to say, am already hard at work at making a film adaptation of I'm OK to get myself on the Thompson Shit List and generally come up with an excuse to throw Requium for a Tower around. Only thing is, the actor models bork up whenever I go to Makeover mode or StarMaker, so I hit the Movies forums to figure out just what's going on.

I have a good idea about what I'm supposed to do now - it seems that The Movies HATES GeForce4 MX 4000 cards whenever it comes to doing close-ups of the actors and such, and the only driver that'll work with it well is 77.77. For some reason, mine came loaded with a driver from early 2004 (56.73, as it is) despite that I ordered it in July/August of last year.

Thing is, I am EXTREMILY paranoid about doing ANYTHING with my drivers, doubly so with the fact that this equipment isn't exactly up to snuff with the current models. I was wondering, thus, if I could get an answer or three to the following:

A) Are there any known problems with making a big version jump like this, especially with this hardware?
B) Any known problems with this particular driver version, like cock-ups in Guild Wars, Anarchy Online, et al?
B) What's the latest version I can (or should) jump to if this should cause a clusterfuck somehow? (Running on GeForce4 MX 4000)

The reason it was loaded with such a late driver is because when the card was produced the latest offical Driver CD was burned and packaged with the box. Due to Nvidia's hard charging driver team it would be nigh impossible not to mention expensive to keep repoping that box and putting in the latest driver CD in there then repackaging it. Likley you had a card which came off the line at the start of the run and was sitting on a self somewhere for eight months before you recieved it.
