Another thing people may want to consider if this fix is not working for them, make sure you are editing the graphics file in the folder for the newest expansion pack you have installed.

if (match(”${cardName}”, “*GeForce2*Integrated*”) or match(”${cardName}”, “*GeForce?2*Integrated*”) or match(”${cardName}”, “*GeForce4*Integrated*”) or match(”${cardName}”, “*GeForce?4*Integrated*”) or match(”${cardName}”, “*GeForce2 Quadro2 Pro*”))
boolProp causticsEnabled false
boolProp enumerateMultisampleLevels false

setb forceLowSettings true
setb forceLowResolution true
endif

# the 6200 Turbo Cache peformed very poorly in CATLAB runs for EP2
if (match(”${cardName}”, “*6200*”) or match(”${cardName}”, “*6100*”))
setb forceLowSettings true
setb forceLowResolution false

i had to do this because i have a nvidia 6200 and had to stop it from forceing the resolution to low
