Default light and shadows in FEAR

I am running FEAR in Windows Vista RC-1 and the game runs satisfactory.
However I am using the 96.33 RC1 NVIDIA driver and during the rooftop gun
battles the light and shadows are not correct. I am using a 7950 GX2 EVGA
videocard. The game's speed and framerate appear to be fine.

look in your device manager and check if you see 2 cards for video adaptors.
Most likely you will only see 1. that means only one is active.

In Windows Vista device cards like the 7950 GX2 are handled differently.
Open the device manager and click the show/hide action pane and then choose
more actions, view, and then show hidden devices. The 2nd card then shows. I
don't know why Microsoft elected to do it this way for the 7950 GX2.

regards
Robert
