Hmm . . . putting it in 32 bit color didn't fix the problem.The text is also blocky and blurry with the OpenGL pluggin for me.  I use the Software one, it works pretty good (and surprisingly doesn't seem to be slower than the OpenGL or D3D.)

but are you able to use  bi(tri)linear filtering in software mode (I think you're not, I tried it's impossible)? Battles and characters look much better with that function.[This message has been edited by ffgriever (edited May 12, 2001).]

The software plugin is supposed to be useable by everyone... but your not gonna get very good res using it.. I couldnt get the open gl one to work for the life of me.. it was all slow and choppy so i am still sticking with d3d and it looks good... basically i found out the best way to configure it was to read the read me.. there is hella info in it reguarding various cards and configz...

opengl didnt work for me - i got black outlines on magic and stuff and software rendering just looked crap

I think D3D is the best bet for most people, if you have a brand new comp and a whopping video card you'll get awesome results in OpenGL though.Lots of cards run like junk in OpenGL.  Software runs on any card and its speed doesn't depend as much on your video card as it does on your processor's speed (500-600 mhz should get you full framerate in almost every game though).
