Yes click "continue anyway"

Its Microsofts driver WHQL certification check, nothing to worry about in this case.

That might just be caused by the fact that the GF4MX is a DX7 card or that you don't have the latest DX9.0c version installed.

back to the time everything worked if you can remember.

also, if it said somewhere that you needed to update your video card, they probably meant the whole card. why? because i dont think the version of your video card firmware affects the game that you are playing. however, i can be wrong...

nonetheless, just make sure to do a system restore to a time where you remembered everthing was working.
