Yes, new computers needs an AGP slot that's sitting on the motherboard, where a video card will be placed then. A 2 years old computer should have such a slot. What kind of computer is it? I was even working with 3D on a 486 machine in the old times (5 years ago) with an ordinary graphic card. What's your OS? Have a look in the configuration pannel -->my computer to see what kind of graphic card you have. Maybe that's only the program that doesn't want to install with your card. Try to download the demo version of Vue d'Esprit 4 at www.e-onsoftware.com and install it. If this one works, your card is not wrong. Guitta
