Spit, there is another way. Try increasing the anti-aliasing setting in your video-card driver, like to 4 or 8. This always helped me in a similar situation.

I'm still having trouble as well.
Only half screen on menu interface. I can access the top two selections, then I'm taken into the simulation where all is well saving the fact that the display tells me it really would like a voodoo card.
I'm able to get it working using the onboard graphics, the NVidia doesn't like it one bit...
or to say, EAW doesn't like NVidia one little bit.

I've failed at locating the D3DWindower app and so I'm still stuck in 2nd gear.
At least I know the program is trying to work and I can at least jump into a cockpit for awhile.
But until I can achieve a full screen, I've nowhere else to go.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, nor am I the dullest=)

Now if I could just find a simple 3d card that would fit into a pci slot for this thing, I do believe EAW would jump for joy.
Any ideas?
