I would say you changed something. The default textures are on the install CD'S I want to say disk 2 but not sure just use my computer to browse the game cab files on the disk once you find it unzip to a temp folder [glow=yellow,2,300]DO NOT UNZIP INTO FS[/glow]
Once you have it unziped just cut and paste it and overwrite.  8-)

Did you change your display resolution in your hardware settings? My setting is 1400x900x32; if you changed it to end in x16, your system will only render 256 colours (I think) instead of millions, which might account for it.

That was the first thing that sprang to mind...

Reminded me of my old computer's 8/16 bit color colour display...
