I am a complete newbie and have an AMD ATHLONE XP 1900+ MMX,3DNOW~1.6GHZ Direct X9>0b(4.09.0000.0902) I have age of Mythology and it says my graphics card is not supported although it doesnt appear in the unsupported list, It installed O.K. but wont run. Display. Via/S3G KM400/KN400 Manufacturor S3Graphics inc CHIP S3gKM400/KN400 Mem.32.0 MB Drivers vtdisp.dll Version 6.14.0010.0035 Date 07/06/2003 (NOW UPDATED TO 04/19/04) latest driver. DOI 9 or higher Drivers cmunda. syst Version 5.120001.0032 C Media inc. Mother board ASROCK K7VM4 DXDIAG reports no probs.D>draw and D.Acceleration are enabled. Reducing hardware acceleration doesnt fix it. Micro soft havent been able to help so far but I did find some possible answers on another forum. Far too technical for a newbie to understand or know if they applied to my system. Does anyone have a step by step solution or do I just have to buy a New card ( which I would need installed for me) Hope I can avoid the expense!!Dont even know If I will like the game!

My friend has a computer running windows ME. she has bought a camera,Kodak LS633 and althoughh the software runs and installed o.k.(Supposedly compatible with ME) She cannot shut down her computer without removing the software. (Kodak easy share.)If she shuts off the computer with it not closed down, it runs scandisk on start up.She is not on the net and cannot download the newest drivers. Nowhere in the accompanying literature does it say internet connection needed. She cannot even register the camera without phoning them as internet connection is required. I cannot download the updated software for her as it requires the installation of the original software.(something I am loth to do) Would internet connection be a requirement for all digital cameras? She wanted it to store images and print only those she really wanted to copy rather than the expense of developing whole roles of film when she may not want them all. She will obviously contact Kodak but I wondered if this was a common problem.

Jimmijo and Brian, Thanks for bothering to reply. This is my first computor and I wasnt interested in gaming when I got it.I know my motherboard is capable of being upgraded a bit as they said I would probably want that later and it would be cheaper to allow for that at purchase point not have to change it completely in a month or two. (THeyre right) I prob wont ever be a serious gamer but if the bug bites.....? Will take your advice as I know enough to know a state of the art card will be a waste of money at the moment with my basic system.

;( As I am a complete pleb with computers, How do I in stall Zork nemesis, using the compatibility wizard or does it know. I realise its a dumb question but I dont want to mess up my system(again) as I already did that with something else. I need a step by step route starting with PUT THE DISC IN!! Its that bad. Ta Moley
