Solution - You should enable the Power VR HAL in the Display properties Control Panel. On Matrox M3D cards this is called "use Matrox hardware".
Second Solution - If this does not work you may need to use a 3D card switching utility like 3DCC which can be found on www.powervr.com
Configuration files
Since Battlezone is designed to work with a wide range of 3D cards, there may be some problems that can not be fixed with just driver upgrades. To correct this, we have provided a set of configuration files that will allow specific problems with certain cards to be fixed. The following is how to install these files:
Find the folder on your hard disk where Battlezone is installed. Typically this is C:\Program Files\Activision\Battlezone. Open this folder by double clicking on it.
You will now see a directory called "3dcards". Open this folder by double clicking on it.
This folder contains folders for each of the 3D cards that configuration files have been provided for. Open the folder for your 3D card and you will see a configuration file; either render.cfg or bzplayer.dat. Now copy that file to the Battlezone directory and start Battlezone
