Post by: Garrett on February 12, 2008, 04:22:46 PM: If you have on board video and the card isn't compatible, you can fix it by getting a new video card. You could get a cheap one for like 50 bucks and would support openGL

Never knew that card were that cheap. Last I looked on Newegg when I was in the process of building my computer, the cheapest was $19.95 or something.

You can pick up a cheap-o one at Walmart too if you have one near you Vinnie.

I don't know anything about laptop hardware so I can't help you.

Post by: ViciouZ on February 12, 2008, 04:49:38 PM: Oh excrement, laptop.

Do what flame has been saying: Find out the make of your video card (run -> 'dxdiag') and install the newest drivers by googling the manufacturer.
