Hi Ken, that card is about 9 years old, which by 3d graphics standards makes it an antique artifact from the ancient past...

To run MoI well you'll need a graphics card more in the "only 5 year old" or so range. It doesn't actually need to be too fancy, like a brand new one in the $40 range will actually work quite well.

I have a Rage 128 "Pro" card on one machine over here, which does run MoI but it is quite slow. MoI expects for the card to be able to render polygons quickly and these much older cards just do not work fast enough.

Your particular card might be older than my Rage 128 Pro here - probably you have 16 Megabyte card which is just not enough video memory to run MoI.

You'll need to upgrade your machine to a newer video card in order to run it, sorry.

- Michael
