Don't know if its happened to anyone else, but when you uninstall your graphic cards drivers, you have to be careful not to remove the default drivers that came with Windows. I did that once when I used an NVIDIA and I got all sorts of errors regarding the drivers saying that I don't have an NVIDIA and stuff.

Anyways, if new drivers don't fix the Maya problems, it doesn't mean you have a dying card, a dying card has a garbled picture with flickering multicoloured blocks (yep, I've seen one) and all sorts or wierdness and from the screenshot you've posted, your card looks fine, its probaly a software problem with either Maya or Windows.

OpenGL has actually been around for ages - Quake II back in 1997 ran on OpenGL (I think ATI Rage was the card of choice back then...) and SGI, being the creators of OpenGL had it since 1993 I think. The thing is, can your video card support the version of OpenGL Maya uses...
