Hi

I've tried the solutions offered in this thread and even the one
offered in another thread (Age of Empires problem solved) but no luck
yet.

I'm trying to run age of empires 2 on a toshiba laptop with an
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphics processor and Vista.

From the research I've done over the last couple of days (and bearing
in mind I'm no computer expert - just trying to load this up for my son)
it seems that ATI isn't allowed to sell catalyst graphics drivers with
the mobility cards for laptops - see ATI entry in wikipaedia.

Has anyone managed to solve this problem on a new laptop yet?
