I know s3 is a dead company but i seem to have the incorrect drivers for this card installed and it wont do opengl. I tried downloading some drivers for it but when i unzipped them there was no .exe/install program and i dont know how to manually install them. Where can i get some accurate drivers for this card?

Go to Control Panel->System and have a look in the Devices section. Right click on the graphics card and select update driver. If you point it to the directory the drivers were unzipped to you should be able to install them.

I have that same card and the only updates I've seen are ZIP drivers. You have to un-zip it into a folder and go to Control Panel>System>Device Manager and click on Display Adapters. Then click the ViRGE 325 and click Update Driver. Then use the Wizard and show setup where the folder that you unzipped the driver to is. Alternatively you could unzip the drivers to an A: diskette and delete the ViRGE 325 from the device manger. When you reboot Windows should say that it has found the ViRGE 325 (as a new device) and ask you for a disk with drivers. Pop that A: diskette in and it will see the drivers from there.
