Does your videocard support Direct3D or is it an OpenGL card?

Do you have any information that you can give me on your video card?

s3 savage 2000
manufacturer: s3 inc

ran dxdiag and found no problems except:
s3sav2k.dll not digitally signed
d3d9d.dll is debug version and will run slower than retail version

[Raptor]

Install the latest drivers. Not the Windows WDM drivers.
