Boot Graphics/My Boot don't look so Gute

Kaleuns!
I've been playing SH3 for a few days whilst my gaming computer is in the shop.
I was trying to get the game looking as good as I could with this older laptop and I've done pretty well. My biggest issue right now with the graphics is the outside.
My avatar view of the bridge looks pretty hosed.

That is, it looks very grainy and low res.
I know I had the bridge view looking very good before but I do not have access to my old mod list. I'm going to post my mod list, can someone give me some advise as to how I can get a better looking bridge?! I had Manos env activated but it seemed that it wasn't working well and I might have placed it wrong.
Anyway, any advice about the bridge view would be so welcome.
Danke und Gut Jagd

'older laptop' might be the cause.
what system speck does it have?

HP Notebook W Intel Core 2Duo T7500/2.20G(2 CPU's),~2.20Gs
Display 2G Ram /Page File 4G
Display: Nvidia/GeForce 8600M GS/1267MB @ 1440x900

I am using the FM interior mod and that looks great. It's just the outside view on the bridge that I can't get over.
I remember using a res fix on the other box but I don't know if that is the problem or not. I just need to know if there is a mod to improve the resolution, I just don't remember the bridge (Compass, UZO, tower, ect) looking so LO Res...

Any thoughts,?? I don't think this laptop is that bad...

...

There is some information floating around here regarding NVidia drivers, but I can't find them at the moment (quick search only).
Also, the 1440x900 is a good resolution, and there is a mod to be able to use this. Again, I can't seem to find anything today but I'm on holiday

.
Anyway, find the mod(s) for Hi Resolution and the mod(s) for getting the correct look for guages, instruments, etc. and you should be just fine.

[edit] by the way, I'm also running SHIII GWX 3.0 Gold on a laptop, very similar specs. The only mod I can't load is the large ship addition mod (I can't remember the name of it, ... but I'm on holiday

).

Cool, Thanx. I'll keep looking for the correct Hi-res.
Again, Since installing FM Interior, the incide looks just fine.
Thanks again
