Re: What went wrong?
i had a similar error on another system, uninstalling the old graphics drivers and installing the latest ones from the web did the trick for a freinds system.
it even ran on a crappy 32mb sis card on a laptop, yes it was lagged!

Only just. I have that card plus Pentium 4 2.5Ghz and it's no more than 5 frames per second on a half decent resolution.

Re: What went wrong?
320x280 on low detail should be playable I hope.
EDIT: On that CPU you will get an awesome experience with a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro which cost £100 these days. (if you have more than 512MB DDR RAM)

Re: What went wrong?
Yeah. Anyway I'm thinking about buying a graphics card at the weekend, hoping that will drastically improve the speed of play.
EDIT: £100? I'll have to have a word with the old man. I have 256MB DDR at the moment, what will that be like?

Re: What went wrong?
Erm, "OK".
512 would be much better, 1GB would be excellent.
I run my main machines with 1GB of PC3200 DDR.

I think it's memory which is most important to be honest
