To start off:
My hardware profile
Integrated GFX card manufactured by Elite Computer Systems, using a SiS 730 Chipset.
64 megs vram
AMD Athlon 1.2 GHZ
528 megs DIMM ram
Integrated sound,modem
This whole mess started when i upgraded from windows 98 to windows XP. Anyhow after installing XP, i went ahead and loaded 3 games that use OpenGL: Tribes 2, Jedi Knight 2 Outcast, and Clusterball.
Tribes 2 and Jedi Knight 2 both absolutely refuse to start under any circumstances. Tribes didnt give me any error log, but jedi knight 2 did:

After this, went to Ecsusa.com and downloaded the latest drivers for the integrated GFX. Installed them correctly, tried again and got the same problem!
Clusterball runs, BUT the whole screen has a greenish tint over it, and runs super slowly.
All 3 of these games worked correctly in windows 98 and i have no idea what im doing wrong here. ANY HELP ON THIS would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
