The keyword is ADAPTER! WinXP already has DX9 installed.

The 3Dfx / Interactive Banshee is an extremely old card, over 10 yrs old. It supports DX7 at best...it may even be a DX6 card.

You need to install a video card that's compatible with DX9. That means an ATI card with a model number of 9500 or higher or an nVidia card with a model number of 5200 or higher.
