Which game are you trying to install? You might check to see if that game has some issues with the Voodoo cards (a common problem). Also, make sure you have downloaded the latest drivers for your video card.

This should probably go over on the Tech Support forum.

Good Lord! I sound like fable! Someone get me a walker and some dentures.

I think I should get a gun and put you out of your misery.

Saying the same as you HLD, check the requirements of the game for the card, a lot now are asking for 32MB graphic card.

Do you want to put me out of my misery or out of your misery?

@camas:
I'd get a newer video card, preferably with AGP bus if your motherboard will support it. The prices on Radeon and GeForce3 cards are coming down, so I'd check into one of those. If your computer will only support PCI bus video, you can still get some of the older ATI Rage Fury cards and I think some GeForce2 cards at reasonable prices.
