steph1248,
I've had problems with those S3 cards are problematic. And they don't update their drivers very often like they should. You have the lastest drivers form their site? (http://www.s3graphics.com/drivers8d04.jsp) , update the driver, then update directx. you might have to uninstall the old driver first and all the software it added when you installed it. Lastly I have often heard that installing an outdated version of directx, and then upgrading from there works. Although, I have never tried it.
