Its because you do not have video card drivers installed and it is using the Standard VGA, blah blah. Find out what the video card is and we can find drivers for you.

visit http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

then just search for the driver appropriate for your card.

After it is downloaded, just double click the .exe file. Or instead of saving just choose the "open" option instead. Which will automaticallylaunch it after download.

I've got the same card, with 98se, you almost always have to install the drivers for the video.
