Update on W2k/NVidia problem: I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Elsa (my board maker). The Elsa version # is 5.13.01.1240. If I remember correctly, that would make it equivalent to NVidia's 13.xx drivers and build 1240 for Elsa. I can now see most text. I get a couple of flickering text locations at the bottom of the screen but the text is readable so I'm happy. The debriefing screen is black on black but I can alt-tab away and come back in to get black on white text (again a livable solution). To all who are using 7.xx to get usable W2k support, try moving to the latest 13.xx drivers from your board maker or NVidia. I've seen plenty of people complaining about NVidia drivers but this is the first game that has given me any trouble (and definitely video related) since I bought my GF2 over one year ago.

Ok, if I understand the previous topics, Windows 2000, NVidia, and Combat Mission do NOT get along :confused:. I'm getting the "white text is transparent" problem plus the indepth scenario overview is just a black area with a control panel on the right. I disabled the FSAA with no change in my problem. I'm using Detonator 3 (R12) drivers released from my board manufacturer (Elsa). Machine Specs: P3 800 Mhz 256 MB RAM GeForce 2 GTS 32MB (Elsa brand) Windows 2000 SR1 Detonator 3 (Release 12) Video Drivers DirectX 8.0 I'm going to go get the absolute latest and greatest drivers for my board but I have little hope based on other comments. So, where does that leave me as a recent purchaser of CM? Does BigTime/Battlefront have any intentions of coming up with a workaround? I realize that Win2000 is only a reasonably popular gaming platform because of its much superior stability over W98. I also realise that NVidia is now the LARGEST manufacture of add-in 3D chipsets in the world. Has anyone else on this forum put 2 and 2 together. Top-dog graphics card (by sales) and a (at least according to their website) supported operating system should mean that I should of seen at least one comment from the developers saying something to the effect: "Hey, we hear you and we are working on it." I don't care if I have to sacrifice some performance for a usable game. Any thoughts?
