Just out of curiosity to start with, do you run full screen, or window mode? What's your screen resolution set to?

I seem to remember that when you replaced the graphics card in FS2004, you really needed to rebuild the fs9.cfg file to make sure that it had details of the new card only. Maybe worth a try -- just backup and delete the cfg file and see what happens.
