OrIoN Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hey, I just installed Vice city on my laptop. I cannot see anything, it's all dark. When I Alt-tab out of the game, I can catch a glimpse of the menu, and thats it. When I start a new game (It's easy, top option all menus) I Still can't see the video. Specs are: 1gig ram ATI Mobility Radeon X300 128mb XP home Pentium M 1.6 ghz Any clue whats wrong? Link to comment
Leviathan Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 laptop seems to be ok, hmm update ATI drivers and if that won't work install the Vice city 1.1 patch Link to comment

Posty Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Yea, I just noticed the mobility radeons are different. However, they only have support for the x700 and x800 Mobility Radeons. Dunno man. Link to comment
orappa Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I had problems with the latest Nvidia drivers in recognising my laptop's graphics chip so I downloaded a modified driver set and it worked fine. Try http://www.guru3d.com Link to comment
silenthill21 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The only thing I can say is laptops aren't the best for pc gaming. You should get a desktop and use a normal ATi graphic card instead of that mobility crap. They used to have mobility drivers on the front page but I just noticed that's been replaced with a Windows Vista beta driver. I hope WinXP driver support doesn't get crappy when Vista comes out because I love XP and don't plan on changing. Link to comment
OrIoN Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 I'll try the Modified drivers. I know laptops aren't the best, I have a desktop pc. Im just putting stuff on here for when i take my laptop somewhere and i get bored Link to comment
