I'm not feeling clever.

It looks like ATI has never produced full drivers for the Rage IIc for Win2k
or XP. I guess the driver bundled with XP is of limited function (no
OpenGL).

People have produced third-party drivers for cards like those from the late,
lamented 3dfx, but as far as I know, no one has bothered with older ATI
products.

It may be possible to get things working by use of a hack like an OpenGL
wrapper for DirectX, but the best approach would be to replace the card. (A
lot of people must have more up-to-date cards gathering dust in closets.)

Good luck.
