Get_O_SupaSta Report post Posted April 12, 2009 hey, I am wondering if EL will work on a vista lap top...does anyone know if it does? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted April 12, 2009 If it's a brand new laptop you shouldn't have any problems. But only telling us "vista" and "laptop" are not deciding factors on whether it'll work or not. What's mostly important is your video card, that it's an up to date one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of players have no troubles running el on laptops/notebooks. Perhaps you should start a new thread and we may be able to help you resolve the issue.

Thyralax Report post Posted April 14, 2009 just missing the video card on the machine (the most important part ) And have you updated the drivers for it? however have you tried going into options at the character name entry point (ctrl and O) and diabling high graphics options, or enabling poor man (i usually try that to see if it will work, then slowly re activate the various options it disables) Also check your fire walls to ensure they arnt blocking el.

Id try the drivers update option and the change of game settings and let us know if it helps at all That's all I could find about it :/ And is the drivers update under the sticky on the Help Me forum? (the topic by Derin) If it is I tried that but it had no option for Vista..only XP and other stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
