When you play Microsoft StarLancer, your video adapter may not be detected
as a Direct3D-compatible device. As a result, 3D Render Mode is configured

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if any of the following video adapters are
installed in your computer:
- Matrox MGA Mystique
- Matrox Millennium II AGP PowerDesk
- S3 ViRGE PCI 325
These video adapters do not support all of the Direct3D features that are
required by StarLancer.

S3 ViRGE Vx/Dx/Gx chip sets.
