I've downloaded, but wanted to smooth the image a bit, I saw a place where you can download a program that will upgrade your "image" card to do that.
Where is that, does anyone know?
thanks in advance.

I've never heard of a program that upgrades your video card. Aside from updates from your manufacturer of your video card, it's nearly impossible. If you're good with computers then you'll understand this: the video card has to have a pixel shader above 1.0 i believe. Vertex shaders don't work. But like rollie said, tell us what video card you have, and we'll help your further.

I had that card. It will not smooth. I purchased the Geforce FX5200. Great deal for the performance it gives.

The way GrLevel 2 & 3 works is if you open it up and click on Help / About and is shows smoothing=no then the only way to get it to smooth is to buy another viedo card. go to www.grlevelx/forum and they got a link there to a web site where you can buy one for about $30. I don't have smoothing on mine but it runs pretty well without it.

Correction on the link above its www.grlevelx.com/forums
Also, check out www.newegg.com and purchase your video card from there. They have the best prices and selection around.
