Not sure what to tell you, not having any problems with it here. In fact I just re-installed the game after seeing your post; installed, updated and just finished playing for about 30 minutes error free.

You have the game fully patched (1.21)? Drivers all up to date (newest video driver from Dell is the 175.97)? When you installed the game did you let it install the DX 9 files it wanted to install? Based on the specs of your laptop it should be able to handle this game no problem.

DirectX 9, which the game will install if you don't have the correct files. Just in case you are missing any and if you haven't run this yet,

Latest DirectX Update

will update all of the DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 files on your computer.

Re: Need Help Running Battlefield Vietnam

Maybe try a complete uninstall of the game and re-install it. To completely remove it you will need to go into the registry and remove the folders/keys for the game. You can find complete instructions here,
