I have a laptop which I'm attempting to install some games on but am having problems.
I keep getting strange errors relating to the graphics card which seem to suggest some kind of problem - perhaps a missing driver ("Unable to initialise Direct X 8.1...Make sure you display drivers are up to date" - I'm running the latest version of DirectX so that's not the problem).
Whilst the laptop is inferior to a new P.C, it's other specs (memory - 512MB, cpu - AMD Sempron) seem resonable enough to run older games so I'm not sure that it's just the graphics component is too weak.
I'm really looking for a way to work out exactly what graphics card the laptop has (I think it may be an integrated card if that makes sense) so I can work out what I need to update (or whether the card is too weak to manage games).
