What's the make of the card?
If you read the requirements of the game, the graphics card has to be 100% OpenGL compliant. So an S3 ViRGE will probably not work. ;)

Please note that opengl is NOT the same as Direct3D

You're right. It isn't open gl. Mabye lucasarts will make it direct 3d compatible on the next update.

Hi!

I suggest you to try SciTech's GLDirect softare. It emulates OpenGL through Direct3D.
Since I upgraded to WindowsXP, its the only way I could play Jedi Outcast on my Thinkpad. But I'm using the demo version which is good only for 30 days - it's not perfect I have the rotating lightsaber on the starting screen in the middle of the screen, but that is just a minor "problem".
So, download the trial version of this GLDirect.
