Greeting all!

I have a copy of WC4 and I enjoyed playing it very much years ago on my
older system.

Now that I have a good system I thought I'd play it again for old times
sake.......but for some reason the in flight graphics look like crap (either
playing in DOS or thru XP using the patch).

I think it may have to do with VESA drivers not really being up to speed
(currently running an Elsa Gladac 920 - GeForce 3 with the 41.xx
Detonators).

Was curious if there was anything that I need to do to make the in flight
graphics look better.  Hell, they look worse than WC1.   =)

You confuse Vesa (which is usually part of the BIOS) with 
DirectX/Direct3D. As such updating your Detonator drivers won't help you.

Are you sure you picked SVGA instead of VGA in the installer? Did you 
try the windows patch?
