WCP and SO with Win XP and nVidia GeForce4 video card

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?

Try to change the texture alignement value in the settings of your 
geforce card.

Thx Karl, but unfortunately that setting does not exist in the
settings/advanced choices.

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.

Q. What are a woman's four favorite animals?
A. A mink in the closet, a Jaguar in the garage, a tiger in the bedroom,
