I recently came across a copy of myth 3, after buying it and installing it on my system i ran into difficulties with the video.
The main menu in the game is replaced by a white screen. All the music works but none of the menus can be seen. By randomly clicking on nothing I managed to start a game. After a seies of white screens (presumably load screens) the game started. It played just fine, but there were no textures. Everything was a creme colored 3d model. I am running on an old laptop with a windows ME system but still meet all the hardware requirements except perhaps the video card. I have a S3 Savage card. Is this the problem? If so are there any drivers or patches avaiable?

Try the 1.3.1 update from www.flyingflip.com. If that still doesn't solve your problems, try asking for help on their forums.

This sounds very similar to a problem I had on M3, though admittedly your problem seems on a much bigger scale.

I originally had problems with small numbers of units being all white. I solved the problem by going into the options menu and lowering different graphics related bars. The problem is that my graphics card is not the best thing to play m3 on so it isn't great.

Seeing as your problem is 100x worse, I'd say your graphics card can't handle it at all. :/

Try the 1.3.1 M3 patch first before seeking alternatives.
