First things to check are make sure that your drivers for you video card are copmletely up to date. Make sure that ou have all of the game patches installed. If that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling the games.

That's what I had for major ideas. next thing I can say is check the support sites for the games. They may or may not have a solution there...

Service Pack 4 operating system Intel Pentium 4 (or equivalent) CPU running at
1.7GHz or higher 64MB DirectX 9.0c compatible video card (NVIDIA Geforce4

and as u see my CPU Speed is 16.GHz . but it is Core Duo .do u think that can be the problem ? and more over i can play Need For Speed Most Wanted on my Laptop .it does not slow down my system. any other idea ? thanks

That shouldn't be a problem. Are those the MINIMUM or the RECOMMENDED?

I know they will run on less, so I doubt that's the issues. Besides that you should be getting a different error if that was the issue...

Can you post some more information about the problem? i.e. a bigger screenshot of the error? What's running in the background, etc?

thanks again for trying to help me , Gizmokid2005 . all the best

Blue_Geek,

That's what I figured. Laptops that aren't virtually desktop replacements really aren't supported on gaming, but I didn't even think to try that.

Glad we could be of assistance. Hopefully you can get it to run somehow.
