I'm attempting to play a patched version (latest patch) of Generals on
a Dell 4400 series with a 2 gig chip and 512k RAM with an NVIDIA
GEforce2 MX card with 64mb of memory.  I currently am running the
45.xx drivers for the card, after reading a post that suggested that
the 52.xx drivers caused some problems.  I'm experiencing the problem
under both drivers.   From the opening menu screen the terrain does
not display properly regardless of the resolution settings- the ground
has large black areas where textures should be mapped.  It seems like
areas that should have textures are mapped correctly, but areas that
are a solid color turn black and stay that way.  The same thing
happens in the missions- the first mission for the USA path, which
takes place in snow, for instance, is completly black with ghostly
little tanks running around on it.

Any ideas?
