I've tried a couple of times to join Motocross Madness 1 games on the zone,
but as soon as the game launches I get the error message saying that my
computer could not find 3-D acceleration hardware on my system (this happens
even when I try to run the game while connected to the net) to overcome this
I have to reboot my p.c. after which the hardware reappears. Can anyone
explain what is wrong
My display adapter is an Intel740 Win9x PC3.0W 3.1.2029-980829 and I'm
running DirectX 7.0

First, check the Download button to the left of the lobby to see if
there is a patch required for the game. Then try removing and
reinstalling the game. See if there is an updated driver available for
the display adapter. You might run DXDiag and turn off 3d acceleration
or make other adjustments.
