you need to have a video card to be able to see the result on the monitor.

depending on what Windows u have look in your device manager under video adaptors or get a diagnostic program.

You might not have a powerfull 3d card and its important to know which one so we understand if it can work with DBC and or DBP

pre Windows XP ( not sure if this works in XP)

right mouse my computer
choose properties
choose device manager
look in display adaptor for your video card name

ouch mate. if you are on a budget then u might want to look for a tn2m64 which is what i use in the meantime.

you wont have Transformation and lighting with this mini card but its cheap as chips until u decide to go for and ATI or Geforce monster.

your card might not be able to cut it mate..

its a 4 to 8 meg video card when peeps have video cards ranging from 32 to 256 megs.


prices for a tnt2m6 are really cheap and allows u to work with DBC / dBP on a low budget.
