Have you tried reinstalling SFC3 with hopes it will detect that DirectX9 is installed?

Hi Col,

Let's determine if the game or DirectX is at fault:
Click Start / Run / type: dxdiag
Which version is listed in the Dxdiag window?

Hi Quoc,

Server and other enterprise systems are not built for gaming.
Why would you try to race around a track in a delivery van?

You can probably still play that game however if you want to
install a DX 9 compliant AGP video card on your server. :-)
