Sweet!

AA is not being applied when I force it in the CCC. I now have to
manually set in game for AA to work.

Also I am getting weird textures in DOOM3:ROE , so I uninstalled and
installed 7.3, everything ok now

I noticed Oblivion had to be told to redetect the hardware (by running the
launcher) for AA to kick in. It's possible your game is doing the same. i.e.
the action of restarting the video after "applying" in-game options actually
caused AA to kick in, if you turn off AA in-game now but force it on in CCC,
AA will probably behave properly.

The bugfix in Adobe Reader is long overdue. Previously, if you went into
Adobe Reader, Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display -> Rendering and enabled
"use 2D GPU acceleration", while AA is forced in CCC, page corruption would
result.

I haven't actually tried the Adobe Reader 2D GPU acceleration yet. How is
it? (with Cat 7.4)

I don't see a "use 2D GPU acceleration" option there - Adobe Reader 8.

Yes, that's exactly what my one looks like except where you have 'Use 2D
GPU acceleration' I have nothing.

Something to do with the type of GPU? I've got a Radeon X800.

Shader Model 3.0 for 2D paper document display. What is the world coming to?

Do you at least get acceleration with Acrobat 3D embedded objects?
