MTM and Diamond 3d 3000

I have a Diamond 3d 3000 and when trying to play MTM, I am unable to use
Hardware 3d acceleration.  If I try to do so, when loading the race, it
dumps back into win 95 with a message that says "unable to load texture".
I can play it with any combination of graphics complexities selected if I
disable the 3d acceleration.  

Any ideas??  If you email me, please edit the return address.  My apologies
for making you do so, but I was getting bombarded with spam.

Thanks!

I had a similar problem with a Stealth 2000.  To fix it I had to
download Diamond's newest driver and then re-install DirectX3 AFTER
installing the new driver.  Worked fine after that, but if the 3000's 3D
is no better than the 2000's you're not missing anything.

I had the same problem.  If you try and play the game without selecting
full screen it bugs out.  Set it to full screen and it works.

You got that right.  I can hardly tell the difference between unaccelerated
and accelerated with my 2000  (accept of course the frame rate drops :-(  I
gotta get a 3dfx or a rendition really soon!
