[plug] ati rage 128 xpert 2000 probs

[John Knight]

3D graphics certainly are good (and I do use them), but the essential 
programme is Kbabel (which will run on anything). I'll try out 3.3.6 as 
money isn't an option for me (I'm just a spotty 17 year old).

thanks a lot! :)

P.S. If anyone has an answer, please don't hesitate!!!!!
