I been installing a few games, testing it out on a laptop I just bought and some games have not been working. It just starts loading the game and it just closes. I had the laptop for like 4 days now, and it never been on internet so no viruses.

3.4 Ghz
2 gb ram
128 Mobile Intel Video Card
120 Gb Hard Drive

Game Requirements

2.2 Ghz
516 Ram
64 Video Card


I was thinking is it because I don't have a ATI, Radeon, or Nvdia card or does that matter? If so how can I get a card like that? I not to good with laptops to much on installing new parts or anything like that.

Hrrrmmm, I get that sometimes to, but I just restart and I'm fine. Try updateing the drivers, you can get them off the Intel site.

The drivers may be a little difficult to get, many video card manufacturers point you back to the computer manufacturer to get special drivers. I had to when I had a Sony Vaio laptop and wanted to play World of Warcraft.

When I needed to get new drivers to play WoW on my laptop, I used the Omega Drivers.

I went to omegadrivers.com and that wasn't the site, go to omegadrivers.net instead. I don't think Omega supports the Intel integrated video cards. Intel's site for downloading new drivers is here.
