Its a DirectX related problem. I cant solve it, so im leaving it be.

I keep trying to install DX 8, but it doesnt seem to do much.
Problem is, my PC is PCI based, so i cant install most of the latest graphics cards.

Processor and RAM are enough; I think the game calls to some Direct3D function that's not available or properly implemented in your video card drivers. Try getting the last drivers. If you're still using Windows 98/ME, you should consider upgrading to Windows 2000 (it'll run fine, and usually has better drivers). If nothing of this applies, try boards on Matrox troubleshooting, perhaps around FutureMark or sites like that. And the RO and RO-community forums too (links on request). Lots of people want to play lots of games, so I'm sure you must not be the only one experiencing this problem.

Im on Windows XP, which should be ok. I'll try what you suggested.
