er - how about installing some decent graphics drivers for your graphics card ??
It sure as hell isn't Doomsday with the problem.

Hem... Ok,
(I know doomsday isnt the problem)

I have activeX9,

What should I install?

First you need to identify your video card. Could a windows user chime in with the appropriate steps here,

Then we will find the current drivers with you.

One of two things wrong. Get into here and find out:
Right Click (Desktop) -> Properties -> Settings [tab]

1) You're using a POS integrated video card. Check for it to have some kind of name like Intel ##x.
2) Your graphics accelration isn't on. Go even further to check:
Advanced [button] -> Troubleshooting [tab]

You'll see a slider for hardware acceleration. It needs to be completely to the right. If the slider is disabled, try getting a real video card. I won't make an empty promise that they're cheap or anything, but you can get one good enough for Doomsday for less than $100. Check the motherboard and everything to find out what type of card you'll need. If you don't have an AGP or PCI Express slot, you're pretty much screwed.

This is my video card (I think)

Ive gone advanced and the acceleration is at full...

Yeah, it looks like you've got an integrated graphics card. It's not likely to run any games that require 3-D acceleration. You'll need an upgrade if you want to play Doomsday or almost anything made since 1998 or so.

OK, if you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP install this driver, reboot, and try again

If you have Windows 98 or Windows Me, use this driver

Happy Dooming

PS - if that does not work - you would need a new graphics card.
