Sorry, but you own a very slow card. No workaround.

Nope. You have to remember, the GeForce 4 MX chips were just slightly
modified GeForce 2 MX chips. nVidia fooled many people into thinking
that the GeForce 4 MX was a new chip. The technology behind the
GeForce 4 MX is *way* too old. Simply put, you'll need a new card.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

er... no. its a GF2 video card.

You'll need a new video card.

Get at least a 5600Ultra or better or ATI9600 or better, both around
$120+

Or... you can't play the game... and which case, you'd be wasting $40
on a game that won't work.
