I bought Starlancer the other day on budget release, installed it etc..

when i went to play it, the game kept crashing after the warthog movie thing appeared,just yesterday the game stopped crashing for no reason and i could play it properly, the problem is the game wont allow me to use my graphics card and im stuck with software rendering.
The graphics card is listed, but when i try to select it the settings automatically go back to software?? :-S

I have a P3 with 256 Ram and a 16mb 3dFX Voodoo Banshee card with updated drivers, running on win ME

if someone can help me out i would be greatfull
