Jonathon - it's just not worth it for me to spend any time patching up the old program. All the background artwork would have to be done at double the current resolution (4 times the pixels). It took almost a year to create it the first time at 1280x768.

Currently, all my efforts are going into MA3, which will solve the problem by using hi-res textures on 3D objects, instead of a 2D background.

If pixels are quite obvious on your monitor, I'm wondering if it might be a driver issue. I have seen a few drivers which maintain discreet pixels instead of doing a smooth stretch as they should. Even though the MA background is only 1280x768, it was still good enough for Apple to use in ads for their Cinema monitor.
