Hi All,
I'm having the same problem when trying to run simpsons hit&run.
I have winxp with kyro powerVR card and directx9.0.
i checked directx by dxdiag and all the tests were fine.
I installed the newest driver for powerVR and also reinstalled directx.
What more can I do???
Thanx

32 mg will work and ill bet my money on it. You just dont have a good enough gpu on it. A 32 mg intel graphics will suck, but a 32 mg geforce 2 will run it fine.

You want an nvidia 5200 or ATI 9600 or better. Anything else would be throwing your money away cause you are going to need the features these cards offer real soon.
