Default Strange graphics problems - missing effects.

Ok, I've got a strange problem of a few cool effects that I am missing, but first:

My video card is a 3d Fusion Geforce MX 4000, 128 MB PCI.

All my other system specs are above recommended.

Now, I didn't actually know about these problems until I went and played it at my friends for a bit cause he has it too....

Well I noticed that when I play it, water is dull with no interesting effects, bosses don't glow in anyway (yes I know the MX doesn't support post-processing, but I'll get to that), and the emblem on capes does not shine/is not reflective.

Now here's why it's a strange problem:

My friend gets the nice cool bumpmapped water effects, the shiny reflective cape, AND bosses have at least some glowing color over their body (not really an aura, but he has post-process effects OFF - actually we have the exact same in-game graphics settings.) What's strange about all this? He has the *exact* same video card as me, and he did *not* upgrade his drivers. He got it from the *exact* same company and the box is identical in every respect. And actually, everything else in his system is *worse* than mine...

Not only that but I tried to play it at my step-brothers, but he only has an "unsupported" integrated card.. but even THAT gets the shiny emblems and the nice water effects...

So I ask, is there some setting I need to change, or should I try updating my drivers again, or what's up with this to fix this problem?
