Direct3d on Windows XP HELP!!!

I downloaded a demo of the Joan of Arc game. I set my resolution to match that of the gaem, I downloaded the lastest DirectX 9… I restarted, I tried everything I know. I checked for driver updates.

Oh, I have the S3 Graphics ProSavageDDL - When I runs DXDIAG and test Direct#D, 7 & 8 work frine, but it skips 9 because it’s not supported?!?!

Can someone please help me? I’m not a computer novice, but I’m no expert either. And Not so certain on drivers and graphics cards, etc…

Thanks so much…

Oh my god! Could my spelling have been any worse?? I have tendonitis I swear! lol

That chip may not be DX9 compatible.

It’s pretty old…
