Hey I have been playing game for a while now, and my computer runs the game on the highest settings yet I have noticed that there are many screen shots that have much prettier graphics than what I am getting. I was just wondering if there was a way to turn up the graphics even more. Thanks.

Post a dxdiag report and also the contents of you conf.ini file in the game folder. Then we can advise .

Also describe your processor, mobo, memory type and amount and your graphics card too. What ya got?

here is a dxdiag which I did as for my motherboard it is a Asus P4c800-e

Crank up your desktop driver settings.
Right-click (empty space) on the desktop, select properties/settings/advanced

What are they set at now?

Looks like you sound chip needs a driver update (but that could be a Vista thang).

The radeon 9550 /XT1050 isnt really a great Gfx card to run higher settings mate.

I used to run a similar setup, your best bet is to run in excelent mode at 1024x768 res. The pretty "perfect mode" graphics are out of your reach unfortunately.

A P4 3.2 + 1GB RAM + 9550/X1050 won't run max settings mate.

Your CPU may still have some horsepower to yield, but you'll need another gig of RAM (2GB total) and at least a NV7800/ ATI X1900 GPU.

Even then, you may not have acceptable frames at the highest settings.

With vista, go 2gb RAM at least.
