I have crysis warhead and i have a laptop with vista OS, my computer meets the minimum requirements all exept for the video card, the game needs 1.5 gigs of memory and i have 3 gigs, when i run the game i have to click a little to the left and up from the buttons and during gameplay i have about 1 frame per 2 seconds.

Is there any way that I can fix things so the game runs smoothly? I already dropped all the graphics to minimum.

What type of graphics card is it? If it's integrated Intel graphics, then I hate to say it, but you won't be able to play crysis. It's one of the most demanding games out.

If your video card does not meet the Minimum Requirements (which are often absurdly low in the first place), then even if you change the game's defaults to "best performance" you will experience problems of this sort until you upgrade the card or the laptop. You might try changing the screen size to resolve part of the problem.

If this is integrated video, you might have the option, in the BIOS, to allocate more memory to the graphics processor
