    I need help over clocking this old graphic card of mine... erm... literally very old...namely Cirrus Logic Laguna 5465 4MB graphic card. Okay the thing is, I need it to run MapleStory a 2D game that somehow needs a 3D accelerator to run. Its a multiplayer online game http://www.maplesea.com Each time I run the program it says "Failed in finding proper screen mode for Gr2d" :(

    So, the problem lies in my graphic card not having 3d graphics acceleration. I would like to overclock it so that I can at least play the game... I currently have Power Strip but dunno how to overclock my graphic card. I would appreciate it if any of you can help. Thanks! :)

    Only a quick search of a Maple Story forum gave this advice to someone with same error.....

    Yupz! already ran the setup.exe and it set the monitor frequency to the correct value. However I think the problem lies with my graphic card... being old it dosen't have 3d accelerator. I can't buy even a 1 dollar graphic card with 3d accelerator as my dad will see me fixing a new graphic card into the computer and suspect me of playing games... T_T If only I can trick the program or the computer to believe I got 3d accelerator on the card or something...

    Sadly not going to happen, if the GFX card doesnt have a 3d chipset then a 2d on is not going to emulate one.

    hmm... I have another computer that is able to run maplestory, I wonder if I am able to remotely connect to it and run maplestory using the graphic card of that computer.

    Does your dad ever leave the house? Does he have a surveillance system set up with 4 cameras directly on your PC?

    I remember the days when my dad set up infrared wires all over the video chip inside my old 286. Everytime I tried changing the card, I'd trip the alarm and a spring activated boxing glove would pop out of nowhere and sock me real good.
