If there are updated graphics drivers available they will be found at the
www.packardbell.co.uk website or at www.s3graphics.com

You've answered your own question with the "graphiocs card GeForce 256 or
greater required" comment. The S3 chipset just can't cut it... Bear in
mind that laptops are not really intended for game playing and most do not
have sophisticated 3d capabilities...
