Prophet 4000Xt 3D Problems

Hi

I've got a problem with a card a mate gave me. I can't seem to get any 3D
from it. I'm running a P3 800mhz with 512MB RAM and a Hercules 3D Prophet
4000XT PCi 64MB card. When I run DXdiag (V.9c) and do the Direct 3D test,
the screen goes all weird and I have to "escape" out of it. I'm fairly sure
it's the latest drivers. 16.055.

An inventory of the PC with "Belarc" shows my System model is "VIA
Technologies, Inc. VT82C692BX" and Main Circuit board as "Board:
693A-596B-977EF/Bus Clock: 133 megahertz/BIOS: Award Software International,
Inc. 6.00 PG 11/20/2000"

Any ideas appreciated.

Nik.

Now you know why you're "mate" gave you the card. ;)

Did the 3D actually work find for him? Do you trust him if he says
"yes"? Hell, can you even run any Direct3D games with it?
