+"Curious, with the 182.something beta driver I can force AA, but unless I messed something up it has no effect if I set in in the "application specific" section (changing it there only changes it on the 7600GS, but not the 8400GS??). Setting it globally to 4x works though for me.
+The mess is because the background is rendered as 16 bit colour, that seems to confuse the driver somehow.
+If you do not mind that the "review your briefing" and the menu during flight look very broken and the starts a bit different, this is fixable as well.
+To quote my post from xwaupgrade:
+Assuming you are ready to run code from some random guy on the internet (i.e. me)
+Download
+xwahacker.exe
+fixedclear.bat
+Put them both in your XWA installation directory, and double-click the bat file (this applies the Z-buffer fix already quoted here).
+you can also use these batch files to switch between the original 16-bit and 32-bit rendering mode, maybe it makes it possible to use anti-aliasing for you:
+bitmode.bat
+bitmode.bat
+You can then delete (or move, or whatever) all those files again.
+If it doesn't work I made an error and did not notice it because I was too lazy to actually test these instructions."
