I get a box that says that that it cant be supported and the program will now terminate. I have a processor of 1133 MHz, and 496 MB of RAM running on WinXP. And as of this time I have: S3 Graphics Twister HP with a memory of 16.o MB. Now I am curious...if I just download a different driver that supports Direct X 9.0, will that solve the problem (even though I dont have that type to begin with), or do I have to get a new card and then install a new driver to go with it? Any computer people know if that will work? The game was enough already, and I dont want to buy a new card just for that. Do I already have to have a certain driver like Nividia, or Intel, or can I just download them? Please get back if you have some answers. Thanks.
