7800gs having trouble with SC 1 and C&C Generals

[herbie12282]

hey all,

i just got my 7800 gs AGP, it installed great. i'm using the Forceware 84.21 drivers. When i load up some old games, some of the graphics are missing. in Splinter Cell 1, the shadows don't draw at all, but no other errors. C&C Generals and Zero Hour, i get no shimmering effect on the water( the thing that makes the water look sparkly) no other problems here either. i have no idea why this happens, except maybe something to do with Shader Model 3 but would appreciate input.

p.s. i had no problems with my ATI x850 pro.

already used driver cleaner (in safe mode) and Generals still doesn't work (the water shaders anyway). The game is completely playable, it just bugs me to see something that should be there that isn't. Splinter Cell 1 is off the list. i modded the INI file to get that working. still stuck on C&C Generals. Anyone?
