Girish Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Have you tried lowering your display settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamodder Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 If it is running Vista, have you installed SP1? I have had peformance problems without SP1, but it fixed my peformance problems after I installed SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimario Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 You quite possibly just bought a crap laptop, but that would have to be a really crap laptop. Sine you didn't say for sure, I'll just tell you you're an idiot for saving up for a laptop that won't run the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiltCoke Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 It runs gta vice city and assasins creed and sims 2 no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamodder Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 It should run SA Fine if it runs Assasins creed, as Assasins creed is more demanding then GTA SA. Try running the game in WinXP Compatibility mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac91 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 If it is XP, easiest way to test it for display problems is: 1. Set your Visual FX quality to low 2. Reduce your resolution to 800X600X32 3. Set your Frame Limiter off, widescreen off, AA off, Mip Mapping off, and then run. Other than that, end all non-critcal background services like virus scanners, p2p programs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 When posting a problem, be sure to include the following information about your computer: Operating system (XP users: be sure to mention if you have SP1 or SP2) Video/Graphics card type + graphics memory Processor RAM (random access memory) This will help us to identify the problem. First, please use the correct format when posting a troubleshooting topic. This will help identify/isolate the problem. Second, do you have all up to date drivers for your video/graphics card and sound card, etc.? Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
