Unfortunately, the Matrox Millenium 4XX series is not supported by the game, as it is only a DirectX6 card which lacks the key feature of Hardware Transform and Lighting. The game requires a DirectX7 card at a bare minimum (it will be ugly, but it will run with the latest drivers), and in fact the box lists a DirectX9 card as the minimum requirement.

See more information about these requirements and what video cards it really means are and are not supported at this page.

erunner, even if you manage to find a better video card for that computer you should not expect the game to run very fast. A 900MHz is really not up to speed for this game.

And you may need to update those 6 year old audio drivers as well.

you just need a straight up new computer, get a cheap dell or emachine if you can't afford much, otherwise, stick to older games, sorry, not much can be done for you
