    He's right. i can't remember quite why but i don't think NS will run on software mode.

    Due to some visual exploits I guess... Seeing the cloacked aliens for example...

    1)try figuring out if you have a video card or if your video is onboard and update the drivers accordingly. 2)make sure you have the latest version of direct x 3)as suggested above, try using opengl.

    Be sure you have the most updated drivers for your video card, obtained at the manufacturer's website. I know from experience that my old ATI Rage 128 Pro (don't make fun <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) could not run NS at all, but once I updated the drivers I had much better OpenGL support.
