No background sky imagery

Hi All,
Just setting up my new Acer system. Copied over L2K3 files and it runs. The weird thing is that the upper part of screen that should be displaying the selected "sky" option is just dark green with Links logos. When I check the graphics options, the various sky options are there, so it isn't that they are missing. It's playable but I just like to figure things out. Also the aiming "pole" shows in the Main Cam but not the overhead or pin cams. Anyone else deal with this situation??

Roger

Do you have a dedicated graphics card? It's fixable with onboard graphics, but you need to read through this thread:

Not sure if this will help.
New Acer laptop with AMD Radeon Vega 3 graphics. Default went to 800 x 600 16 bit. Had no sky's, cams weren't showing correctly, tabs across bottom not showing. Change to 800 x 600 32 bit and on graphics page I checked the use dynamic cam. Pop-up says dynamic cam will not work for some reason but went back in to game and everything cleared up. I know in the past I've always had dynamic cam activated and used 32 bit. I've had Intel on old laptop and a desktop, newer desktop I added nvidia graphics card and now this new Acer laptop. Again hope it helps.
