Just came out of the stone age and updated my OS from 98SE to XP. Rather interestingly, I now have black taxiway lines (just lines not the entire taxiway) and the new grass texture is gone.
Any suggestions before I go into the complete re-install mode?

Only thing changed was the OS? You may need to update your video drivers again as XP likely put in older drivers. Also be sure you have Direct-x 9.0c as XP likely put in an older version

Had to replace the Nvidia drivers right off, XP didn't like the 98 versions and I caught it mentioning DirectX 8 during the install so I went ahead installed DX 9 straight from MS. This was all before starting up FS/GW.
Beats the heck out of me....

No Joy on the grass textures.
I have had some settings go awry, but near as I can tell, they are all back close to what they were before.
Also, I'm getting all the taxiway markings as black. That's the edges, centers, parking & holdshorts.
Back to the grassland's hunt......

Do a search in this forum for black taxiways. There were several fixes

Quoth Homer Simpson, "DOH!!"It really helps if you turn your ground & water texture sliders up from minimum...  Only thing now is that I put the taxiway textures in from Custom Classics extras as a quick fix. (having spare bits around me is probably not a good thing  ). Now to see if I can fix that without resulting to a GW3 reinstall.
