Make sure you are using the most up-to-date graphics drivers for your card.

Yes, updating graphics drivers is very very very important, if you are using a nvidia graphics card just go to www.nvidia.com its fairly easy to navigate though so you will probably find the latest drivers.

I believe that's the built-in card with OpenGL problems. S3 Savages are notoriously bad for intensive 3D games, usually with only 16-32MB of RAM on the cards to work with. Unfortunately that's way below the minimum requirements, and thus there are simply no solutions to some problems.

Find yourself an actual video card, preferrably with a minimum of 128MB, and the feel of the game will improve a thousand-fold.

S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR, driver version 6.14.10.33

You need to set your display settings to 16bit and PS setup color dept to 16bit also and your 3d graphics will work just fine :)
but you`ll notice the fonts color change from light yellow to dark black. From my research i think this happens because S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR cannot handle 3D games graphics ..

Hope this will help you Cilay_mecur
