and their is no back ground. then when i click around and find the new game

drivers for my Via s3g unichrome video card and i've downloaded directx 9 and
it didn't work.... HELP!

Hi Mister P,

You're going to need to invest in an AGP video card instead of that
built in graphics chipset which you're using now if you're into gaming.

The chipset is fine for desktop applications, but NOT for gaming...
