Quickly looking through your log file I see nothing unusual that stands out. I decided to look into your chipser which is a KT333. The via site had a link to a Microsoft known problem:

In your log file it shows service pack 1 for XP. I am guessing that is the latest service pack. When did you install XP or the service pack? Does any other 3D games have a problem?

I will continue to look at you DirectX output and see what I can find.

WindowsXP and the service pack are installed together from the same cd on

a new Maxtor disk. Other 3D games are working fine (Mafia, Medal of Honor,

Impossible Creatures, Age of Mythology).

I' ve used a utility named Riva Tuner to fine tune my card. Through this

program the Detonator drivers i use (40.72) are recognizing my card (GeForce

3 Ti 200 128MB) as a Nvidia Quadro card. Do you think that this might be the

problem?

The problem report from Microsoft says some games may have a problem, so it could be that Emperor is one of those games. There are a lot of people on this site that can play the game on XP so I guess this was a bad lead.

Riva Tuner is a video card overclocking utility and I would suggest disabling it and see if the game runs.

Your card showing up as a Quadro is definately wrong. Are you sure you downloaded the correct drivers, as the Quadro is a completely diffferent card as the GeForce. Also, try lowering down your resolution and put a default refresh rate.
