I just got DBPro in the mail yesterday , but when I tried out some of the examples I noticed that the text and some of the textures were all messed up while in 3D mode, but worked fine while no 3D stuff is present. I did not have this problem in DBC. I have not upgraded to patch 4 yet, and I'm planning to buy a video card off of eBay soon. Would either of those options help? Or is there something else I could try? Thanks in advance.

P.S. Here are my current specs (they're a bit embarrasing ):
Pentium III 500 Mhz
128 MB RAM
20 GB Hard Drive (7GB Left)
Windows 98SE
Onboard Video and Sound (no other info)

OK, I'll start with the patch, since that's free. Thanks!

It may also be worth to obtain the latest version of your video drivers, although you didn't state that it had 3D capability but sometimes updating the display drivers resolves little problems. Also check that you've got the latest version of DirectX. 8.0/8.1 should be fine but I'm not sure of the situation with v9 under 98/SE
