I'm running FS9 in XP. I could right click on my desktop & get to the GForce 7900 card to add the antialias there. Now I have a 2nd machine with Vista & an ATI 8400 series card but find I can't do the above. I want to uncheck altialias in FS9 & get the 8400 to do it but how do I get to the card? I have FS9 set to mipmap 4 & antialias on but am hoping I can get a better picture.

Did you install ATI's Catalyst Control Center, or just the drivers for the card?

Apparently the Catalyst Control Centre was never installed so I've downloaded & installed it. Roll Eyes
