Hi Marc, I have heard of some problems with some other older Wildcat cards.

Those cards are kind of the reverse of typical - they have focused most of their energy on making it run well with OpenGL and not so much with Direct3D. MoI happens to use Direct3D. Older Wildcat cards didn't support Direct3D at all, but the newer ones (including yours) are supposed to.

I see that here there is a slightly newer driver version here ( 3.1.852): http://www.3dlabs.com/support/drivers/product.asp?bypass=1&category=1&os=17&driverlang=&prod=271&drivertype=1

That might be worth trying.

What color depth are you running your desktop on (Control panel / Display / Settings tab / Color quality setting). If it's not 32-bit color, that might be the problem.

Are your viewports a white screen with the text "Unable to create Direct3D9 device" in the corner? Or do they look different than that?
