giggs=legend Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Not 100% sure but i think it could be because you are tryin to use 3d Match engine. What are the specs of your computer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilmorrison Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 To be honest, those specs are on the low side - and Intel integrated graphics chips are, frankly, utter pants. In fact, i'm quite amazed you can get any games working at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 When I downloaded the demo my laptop completely lost it. It went to the repair shop where they had no choice but to reboot to original settings! Four years of info all gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynet Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 The update of the graphics driver will help and improve only if they have updated the drivers since they released that card, but agree your system is kinda old hat really and the intergrated graphics card shares your memory ram. When this happens you lose alot of your ram allocation making it smaller and making the machine run slower. Stephanie you would have been better backing up all your data onto usb stick or a secondary hard drive, but cant understand how downloading a demo made your laptop crash and end up in a shop for repairs, what was the reason the shop gave for this if you dont mind me in asking.

Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 They say a software conflict program. The laptop just would not boot up, even in safe mode. In my opinion I don't think they had a clue and I'm a pretty good judge of character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
