Andy: You probably need to update your video drivers. Try the S3 WEB site to see if newer drivers are available for your TRIO 64. You might also want to obtain the latest Direct X drivers from MS. Go to their WEB site (www.microsoft.com) and initiate a search. I'm not sure exactly where they're located, but a search should find them.
