Thanks, Dave.
I never had a Nvidia card, but a Matrox G400 instead. It's a bit
disappointing that I can't use those special enhancements, but if they're
going to interfere with the program I can do without. I was hoping that
either EA or ATI had a fix, but alas nothing. I'm hoping you're right and
there really is a new Catalyst in the works. I remember when I had the
Matrox G400 and Medal of Honor looked all funky. I downloaded their beta
drivers and fixed everything right up. Perhaps I'll be lucky in this case
too.
