I'm trying to run an old computer game on Windows 7?

It's called Zanzarah, from 2002. It starts up fine and everything, but there are sections in the game where the graphics are invisible.. like I can see through walls and stuff... Can I recalibrate my video card to fix this? Or is there another solution? I run an Nvidia card.

    You should try this if you are running an older game on a newer operating system. It is called compatibility mode. It makes the computer act like an older operating system so that the program runs well.

    Go hover over the program icon and right click then to go properties.

    Go to the tab called compatibility

    Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"

    Pick a operating system from the drop down menu (I suggest Windows XP for that game)

    If that doesn't work try changing the operation system from that drop down menu.

    This has helped me many times before! Hope this works for you!
