OK, I fugured out the problem with the nVidia card, and have the MA3 Beta working properly on it now. The issue was so technical that it wouldn't make any sense to anyone here, so I won't go into it.
Regarding the nVidia 5200 card: except for the Pixel Shader capability, the card is actually a step DOWN from the on-board Intel graphics chip in this HP machine. Everying runs a little slower in every mode - about 10% fewer frames-per-second. First I tried it with the default Microsoft XP drivers, then I loaded in the nVidia drivers that came with the card. I haven't tried downloading any drivers yet.
(And yes, I did remember to disable the on-board card. The nVidia card is the only device being seen by the program.)
