Try updating your Nvidia drivers (http://www.nvidia.com) along with Direct X. If not, maybe your card is not a minimum requirement for the game? I dunno. .

I had to return the game because it didn't work on my WinXP Pro PC, but then I discovered Compability Mode, and it worked like a charm.

Right-click any .EXE file in WinXP, then Properties. There's an option to run the .EXE as if you were in another OS. I think O:FP ran when I made it Compatible to Win2000, and disabled Virtual Themes.

did u download the drivers? did it work?

Hmm, yeah, compatability might work. I remember playing that game on my old TNT2, worked O.K. Maybe you should lower the refresh rate too, just to try it, I don't think it's gonna pull 75 fps.
