Loaded Warzone2100 (Win 95/98). Game seems to play OK, except for screen movement which is choppy, and there appears to be a slight hesitation when excuting action with the mouse. Have tried all settings within the program; no improvement.
System uses a PIII-533 w/ 128M Rdram. Older video card; a Viper 550 w/16meg Video Ram.
Any ideas how I can save this game; the video is just choppy enough to be annoying.

This is an important point that does not come out clearly about VGA mode being involved and not VGA drivers.
In fact, VGA should NOT be selected for installation. If a screen offering this appears on reboot after removal of Damond card, just hit cancel. Otherwise some generic VGA drivers would get installed.
What does occur is that any new graphic card is booted, by default, as operating in VGA resolution and color depth. It then operates in VGA mode until the proper drivers get intalled which are cetainly not drivers for a VGA card.

Hi all, my experience goes back to a Creative TNT2 card where removing the drivers and trying to replace with generic nvidia ones caused a few problems. Removing the drivers and then re booting (card stays in machine) Windows always tried to reinstall the creative drivers. It was only when VGA was selected as a change of driver (generic again) was I allowed to then install the nvidia drivers. Trying to update the creative drivers with the nvidia ones always failed with a confused pc. Up[censored] the generic vga driver with the nvidia worked a charm sooooo still suggest you use the self installer as a first option and good luck.
