I hope it's an easy fix, 'cuz my computer hardware experience is outdated beyond belief.

BTW: Welcome back, von hally.

I had the same problem with my Intel chipset on my laptop. Updated the drivers and it was fixed.

But does it work with the old monitor?

"Cannot initialize 3D engine.."

What kind of cable u use for the connection between gfx-card and monitor?

For resolutions 1920x1080 and higher you need hdmi or dual-dvi.

Since I use dual-dvi cable I am playing SHIII with resfix 1920x 1200 w/o any problems

on my 24 inch monitor. The cable costs me 12 Euro.
