I'm afraid your video card is way too old to properly show the True3D sets. You
might consider bringing your screen's bit-depth down to 16 bits to see if
performance improves at all, but I can say with 99% certainty that it will not
improve.

I would strongly suggest upgrading your video card. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to reply or to send me a personal e-mail.
