Could be gfx card or Direct X. Does the gfx card have T&L? Do you have
DX9? Are the latest drivers installed for your card?

Thanks for your response.

My graphics card is an ATI Radeon 9200 AGP/128MB

I have installed the latest Catalyst driver for it (dated 6/9/05). DirectX
version is 9.0c.

I am not sure if the Radeon has T&L. If it does, should I disable it? I
looked through the ATI control panel and I see no place to enable or
disable this.

Any thoughts?

It has. It should not be disabled. (don't think it can be)

Not any more :-( The card is one of those recommended for RCT3 so that
should not be the problem.

I think I saw something about DX9c being so new that many cards/drivers do
not support it properly yet. Just a thought.
