I have been checking out a friend's Dell 8200 with this 64MB video card built in, and the graphics in these games are really inferior to my 3 1/2 year old system! The gun reticle is poorly drawn, the white plus sign nav point does not appear, there is no gun sight for the stormfire, the edges are poorly drawn, etc. I've updated the driver and checked out the (limited) settings options to no avail. Anyone else having this, or succeeding in overcoming it? Thanks much. Mark.

Does your old system have a 3DFx card?

Where can I download one of those from? [Delete the karl after the @ to avoid my spam trap]

Well... :-(
You can try one of these 2 options:
Download some 3rd party GEForce Tweaking program or
scan the registry with regedit for "alignement" ore somesuch.

A. A mink in the closet, a Jaguar in the garage, a tiger in the bedroom,
and a Jackass to pay for it all.
