Im running lock on, on vista x64 bit on my new hp dv5 laptop, it has factory graphics card which is supposed to be pretty good (intel accelerator 4500MHD). game installed fine and loads correctly but in game play the ground texture is like mirrored on the top of the screen as well. In other words the ground is in the air and sides mixed with the sky. The graphics look fine, but there just out of place. Any advice?

Yeah- get a dedicated video card. Your graphics accelerator is not going to cut it. Laptops are almost NEVER going to have sufficient hardware to run 3d games- regardless of the criminally misleading "minimum specs" tell you.

hey thank you for you fast reply. Yeah im a nooby. Would you or anybody recommend a good video card. Ill be looking at other post to see what people are using. Thank you again

also, for the buget i was thinking around $100 if possible. Like i said i dont know alot about this stuff. But i was just looking at prices and they range from 60-500 dollars. So for i was thinking of spending no more then 150. Thanks
