My husband really wants to play World of Warcraft with his friends, but we have a Trident Blade 3D/ProMedia video card, and it's not supported by WoW, so it's a no-go. Is there some way to get my graphics to still work, but convince the computer it's running something else, so as to "trick" WoW into working? Or is there some other, easier way to get it to work?

I realize that I have old hardware.
There's no need for any of you to be rude.
Maybe this is a better way to ask: Are there any video cards that have cross-compatible drivers, so as to attempt to "trick" my computer?

No they computer will know what you have installed. You can check and see if you have a pci slot open and get a pci video card if that is possiable.
Below is a link so you can see the different ones to choose from.
The second link is a guide that will explain it further and show you how to install one if that is what you choose to do.

Sorry but you can not play WoW in your outdated hardware. It does not meet even the minimum hardware requirement. In gaming, hardware means a lot so that it could run those terrific 3D softwares.

Yeah, I hear if you swing a pocketwatch in front of the monitor while saying "You are getting very sleepy" over and over again in a soft voice you can hypnotize the computer and tell it it has a Nvidia 8800GTX video card! This should work well!

Sorry there isn't. Your hardware is what it is. Head over to your local retailer and get a new one.
