Does the game no longer support ATI 9550 graphics card? I get 2 messages about ARB multi-texture and then a long message that the 9550 is not support and I need an ATI Radeon 8500 or better. Is the 9550 not better than the 8500? (Yes, I'm not a computer hardware literate person.)

yes / no / not really.

AMD Retired support for these cards back in 2009.

The last driver update to support these cards was the 9-3 release for Vista, and 9-3-1 for Windows Xp:
9-3-1 :: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...?&lang=English
9-3 :: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...?&lang=English

The game still works in the "classic" rendering mode (non-ultra-mode) options against these drivers.

As far as the Radeon 8500.

That was retired back in 2006.
