Flashing a geforce2 card

I'm having trouble flashing a geforce2 card in my Mac and it's a card that
should be flashable via Applescript. My machine is a 400 mhz G4, the card is
a Visiontek GeForce2 MX400 Xtasy 5564 64MB AGP with VGA and s-video out,
firmware is 4.2.8f, os is 9.1. (yes, this is an Applescript question, hang
on. Hehe)

I've talked to an individual with the exact same setup up as I have and he
was able to flash his card with the Applescript that follows.

When booting into 9.1, however, (before attempting to flash) I get video but
with many artifacts. Some doubling of images is noticed, but not everywhere.
Text is unreadable.

Apple System Profiler does recognize the card as a Nvidia type card but with
an older ROM.

I extracted all the necessary files from the Apple Nvidia update which
includes extensions (the machine locks up when they are installed) and an
installer program AENV MacFlash [1045-MRS] which flashes the ROM.

However, when I run the following script, nothing happens.

tell application "AENV MacFlash [1045-MRS]"
CompareROMVersion
if (CompareROMVersion) = true then
FlashROM
end if
quit
end tell

I'm no Applescript guru, but it gives a 'result' of 4200 which, according to
its Applescript dictionary, is, a 'generic error.'

Any idea what that means and how to fix it?
