Well for those that are interested

 

These are updated links to get XWing Alliance running on Windows 7 64 bit as well as upgrading the graphics

 

You can get XWA running on Windows 7 64 bit with this tutorial.

 

www.moddb.com/mods/the-x-wing-alliance-upgrade-project/tutorials/x-wing-alliance-installation-on-modern-operat ing-systems

 

Then after that head over to Darksaber's webpage and get DSUCPv2.1

 

This will upgrade the graphics as well as as do a full install for no CD's (must have XWA installed per above first)

Grab the Reimer's XWAHacker and after you have it upgraded use it to change the resolution
