I have an ATI Rage P/M Mobility for a laptop with a P3 800 Mhz.

Ive tried messing around with the setup resolution and display settings already. Do you think I should contact Microsoft?

Perhaps the graphics card in your laptop computer doesn't allow for transparencies, which is part of the ATC window?
Can you see through the transparent cockpit windows of the planes?

Since the general theme of most replies here tends to be "What kind of video card do you have", I am going to break down and ask, revealing loads about myself.

How exactly does one find out what kind of graphics card they've got?  I ordered my PC from Dell, and pretty much just got a standard box with a little increased RAM and speed...don't at all know what card I've got in there.

Any suggestions?

In the Task bar....
Start > Run > type in the words: dxdiag
Press ok.
That will give you your computers complete specifications... Grin...!

LOL thanks Foz...

I have to admit, when I purchased the PC, I was in the middle of a lapse in F$...I hadn't really used it much, other than a few times I'd screw around with 98.  But then shortly after I bought it, I got my hands on 2K2 Pro, and have found myself wondering why I ever let myself get out of it. 

But to be honest, I'm getting some very good graphics out of it, I'm wondering what differences I'd see with a new video card.  Are there any before and after screenies around?

Hi Hyp...!
How about posting a couple of screen shots in the "Raw Screenshot Forum", mentioning your garphics doobry, and asking the members what they think of them, using that dubious doobry...LOL!
Press Caps +Z twice to show the frame rate  before capturing the screen.

Cheers mate... Grin...!

Yeah, I tried that once before, but I'm a very simple lad, and I must have done something incorrectly.  lol  As for FPS, I know that I generally get in the neighborhood of 30 FPS, which I know is pretty good....

I'll work on it this afternoon/evening though, since I took a half day off to enjoy the sunshine!  Grin
