no 3d support in xp

[Justin Diver]

i have a real 3d starfighter 740 video card and i was
running windows 98 for the longest time. when i had 98 i
had full 3d support but now that i have upgraded to xp i
constantly get errors that i have no 3d equipment
installed. i checked the intel web page for the newest
drivers but all it says there is that the newest drivers
are included on the xp installation cd rom. if there is
anyone out there who can help me i really want to play
some of the new games that i got but i cant as of yet
since the machine thinks i dont have a 3d card. if there
is something that i dont know or if there are drivers out
there that i can not find plese let me know. thanks.

The card that you have is pretty old and as you've seen, driver support from
Intel won't be improved anytime soon.

Your best bet is to spend a little money and get a new video card. Even the
lowest priced ATI or NVidia offering will be vastly superior to what you
currently have now.

Drivers provided with XP only give basic functionality for most video cards.
To get more you need to get new drivers from the card manufacturers. If
they don't provide them, there's really not a lot you can do about it I'm
afraid...
