stupid fing computer HELP

[Northspeed543]

I bought a new asus laptop and mxe. just stops working an says windows is checking for problemes but it says windows couldnt find any problemes.
Laptop is windows 7
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
I have tried upgrading the driver but windows wont let me.
I have searched the forums and tried to fix the probleme that way but no luck.
When I try to take a screen shot it comes out all black and white.
Any help would be great!

did it work previously on that laptop ? its sounds like it may have worked but then you changed something/ updated something ?

Or did it work on a old computer and you put it on your laptop trying to get it to work ? (could not have the performance power as a desktop )

Worst case, copy your personal folder (skins,tracks) and delete it all and reinstall. Just to see if it fixes the problem.

Does it load the program up to the menu ?

Its never worked right on this laptop, works on my old desktop just fine.
I think i will just try and re-install the program tomorow if nothing else works.

And yeah I can play the game for about ten minutes, no lag online or any problemes, then it just freezes and shuts the game down.

Sorry I'm confused a little your posts contradicted eachother. The game does play on your laptop ? But only for a little? Or does it play on your desktop only for 10 mins and not at all on your new laptop ?

my old desktop would do this. except it would freeze the whole computer up. jlv and others helped me try about a million different things and i could never get it working.

Ok, I can play on my old desktop and it works great, No probleme there. I can play on my laptop for about ten minutes and then the game just stops working and shuts down.
When I am playing it on my laptop it works fantastic for about ten minutes then it just stops working.

I think I am just going to delete everything and re-install the game today to see if that fixes it, nothing else works and im frustrated. lol

Try installing new video drivers, it sounds like maybe it is a memory leak bug.

[jlv]

I'd guess it's the ATI memory leak or something is overheating. You can slow down the memory leak by reducing ground texture levels / resolution.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I will have to step up and get a new desktop soon!
