Anyone play "Messiah"? Need help with install.

[theonlymantis]

I got the game Messiah, and it came with a patch. I installed the game and the patch. It gets through all the opening scenes, but then when it gets to where the game should start, it says it can't work because of a failure with glide32. What does this mean? Could it be the video card? It's a 4x prorage turbo (came with computer). IF that's the prob, what kind of video card should I get? It says I need a video card that can support Glide.

Thanks

Make sure you haven't got Glide selected in the video properties. Glide is 3dfx's proprietary API and the reason they're out of business now. Select D3D and you should be good to go. I haven't gotten into it yet, but I know it runs on my rig.
