Sorry, Moony, with a Device ID like that, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe it has something to do with you having a Laptop - I don't know. Maybe someone else knows. :dunno:

Put this line: 0x0253 = "GeForce4 Ti4200"
into your VideoCard.txt file right where I put it in the example below.

0x0258 = "GeForce4 Quadro"
0x0259 = "GeForce4 Quadro"
0x025b = "GeForce4 Quadro"
0x02a0 = "GeForce3 XBOX"
NoCopyZInVidMem
0x01F0 = "GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU"
RenderEqualZ
0x0181 = "GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU A"
RenderEqualZ
0x139A = "GeForce GTX 950m"

Vendor = 0x8086 "Intel"
0x1132 = "815"
0x1240 = "752"

...and it will be fixed. If you still have your problem, something else is causing it.

This can happen if your system for one reason or another isnt powerful enough to run things.

Your system ought to be plenty enough to run Links fine, so I speculate that it may be because of one of these three reasons, or likely even a combination of them:

1. Your Nvidia card indeed might not be the one that is selected to try run the program with, in which case the fix you mentioned could be worth trying, but I bet it may be because you didnt set up the Direct X program you mentioned correctly (we're not supposed to mention it by name here, for reasons we shouldnt bother to discuss right now) There is a way to check if this is the case or not: Could you tell me:
-If, when launching Links, it says at the bottom during a black screen "3D accelaration by [name of program] Direct X Wrapper" or not?
-When going into this menu within Links: Options > Graphics Settings, what does it say under Device? Trying to change this setting within Links may not work (Im not sure but I feel like it might not, so I would leave it like it is and simply report what it says for now)
If the above 2 things are in order we can dismiss this being part of the problem, if they arent, I will give instructions on what to do.

2. You may be trying to run Links without the laptop being plugged in, or your power mode is set too low (you can access such settings by right clicking the battery icon at the bottom task bar of your screen while Links is not running). I feel like you ought to be able to run Links on a lower power mode too, but it could at least be a workaround if unable to identify any other issue.

3. You may be trying to run Links while having a lot of other programs open in the background, try to close all of them that arent necessary before running Links.
