just checked your laptop specs and i have to admit that the intel series of graphics cards are useless in everything they do, sorry to dissapoint, but if you want to play games on a laptop, you need to spend more than £400, it does support OpenGL 2.1 but in this case, it would be like playing crysis on a windows 95 computer

Hello scubalal,
Have a look here and give this a go.

Download GLDirect 5.02 - Allows you to run OpenGL-based games and other applications using your graphics card`s DirectX 6.x drivers - Softpedia

Also go here and update your drivers.

Download Software, Drivers and Utilities Filters

Hope some of this is of use.
Good luck and please post your results, thanks.

**scubalal** · 07-11-2009

thanx guys for all your help, i'll try every thing later on today. just one quick question, can i change the graphics card in the laptop?????

**stoneys-nutz** · 07-11-2009

Short answer is no. It has a video chip as opposed to a "card" On this model laptop they use two types of MB, one has an integrated chipset, (yours), and on the other type there is an ATI option. I know your graphics are not the best, but it should run an older game like this. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Try this,

http://download.cnet.com/SciTech-GLDirect/3000-18541_4-10026542.html

when you have done that try a no cd patch, make sure to backup your original.
