Got a new video card and game became ghetto

The first time playing AoC after getting a new video card i found that I cannot see the ground and is instead replaced with a large blue square of emptyness. Does anyone know what I may be able to do to restore my vision of the terrain?

Well you better do not upgrade your GPU if you want to play old games. All you can try is to play with some graphics settings, but I have little hope. What GPU do you use?

NVIDIA GT 610

I tried changing a couple of things under Video Options. Do you have any ideas of what may help?

Did you mean to adjust the settings on the game or the graphics card? I tried changing all of the game settings and nothing was fixed.

Well it looks like my OS was too ghetto for the hardware. I upgraded from XP to 7 and everything is good now.
