Re: Graphics Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Most of these "lag" problems can be handled by:

1) Closing most of all "autostarted" applications.
2) Updating video card drivers, including chipset drivers
3) Installing the latest available patch for the games

Also, most game publishers do not "support" their games when installed on
laptops. Laptops components are not easily upgradable as any regular PC.
