AMD 1.3GHz, GeForce 3 (A system I no longer have) | |||
==== More info ==== | |||
My old AMD 1.3GHz, GeForce 3 system and would crash when many objects or people were in view. Games such as Far Cry and UT 2004 also crashed. I found that if I ran these really old (2003) video drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_44.03.html) SL would run stable, but any newer drivers would crash. If you have a old (1 - 1.5 GHz) AMD and a GeForce 2,3, or 4 that's crashing, please send in the crash reports and then IM me. Alternately, try the old nVidia drivers. | |||

==== Summary ==== | |||
The laptop, which is brand new, crashes fairly often, say every 20 minutes of light use. It can crash even while I am sitting still. Have not noticed a pattern to what may be causing the crashes externally - it may be some internal factors. Crashing occurs even when the laptop is connected directly to the LAN. There are no viruses present, and I use Trend Micro Anti-virus, and MS Firewall (Win XP). | |||
I am wondering if running in a compatibility mode or what other setting, could make the difference. | |||

I know Intel is not officially supported, but I did see a note that chip sets of 945 and above should work well. I have tried a number of different graphics and video settings, but this has not changed behavior. Also, some texts inside SL are perfectly normal and clear, while in other environments such as inside chat and IM windows, the text is terribly broken up (i and l literally look identical, as an example). I have MS Word 2003 with all fonts installed. What else to do?? | |||

==New laptop coming, need advice == | |||
I ordered over the Internet a new laptop, which I think was a Dell Inspiron 15. Those laptops apparently have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD, and I'm not sure whether that falls under system requirements of "at least Intel 945" (and I notice that some have reported trouble with the 960-series accelerators). Has anyone tried SL with an X4500HD? [[User:Jacquelina Matova|Jacquelina Matova]] 01:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC) |

New laptop coming, need advice
I ordered over the Internet a new laptop, which I think was a Dell Inspiron 15. Those laptops apparently have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD, and I'm not sure whether that falls under system requirements of "at least Intel 945" (and I notice that some have reported trouble with the 960-series accelerators). Has anyone tried SL with an X4500HD? Jacquelina Matova 01:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
