I see "Swiftshader" running. That's basically a D3D9 video card emulator. So it's not really using the S3 Savage chip, which obviously couldn't run the game anyway since it's DirectX 6 hardware!!

AFAIK savage3 has 2d only driver in win2k/xp, and while savage4 has 3d win2k/xp driver, it's very buggy aswell, S3 never had a stable 3d driver.
