Do you have the latest graphics drivers for your card from the S3
manufacturer's website? Do you have the latest version of DirectX
(www.microsoft.com/directx)

Are you logged on as an Administrator to install the game?

I do believe that the S3 Savage is not capable of running Doom3. You could
check at the ID software site to see which cards are compatible with
