is there anything else i could do to fix it???

:cry:

looks like you didnt install latest video drivers, if windows detected the card by itself, it usually wont install OpenGL drivers,

just go and get the latest drivers from the manufacturer site, this should help

edit

you didnt forget to enable hardware acceleration btw, like the Windows 2k3 workstation guide says

and another question, did you do a clean install of win2k3 or did you upgrade from winxp?

[Aaron]

Yep, you need to get graphics drivers, because the ones included in Win2k3 are very basic and don't have OpenGL or the likes.

[rik]

I may have missed it but I'm guessing you are running an NVidia based card...and I believe you will need to run the, uh, 43.45? Detonator drivers at least...
