Graphics problems with CotN on Laptop

[Azeem]

I've just installed CotN on a laptop, but my graphics seem to get smeared. When I move around the map in game, there's some flickering on some parts, and then it delays, and then it smears. My laptop has a GeForce Go 6200 card.

I can't upgrade my drivers to 81.95 or 91.31. I get a message that it can't locate any compatible drivers to upgrade.

You'll have to go to Sony. I searched their site for your model number. They have a newer driver for your card, but only three months newer than the one you have.

I've upgraded my drivers to that level. Still got the same problem. :(

Yea, well, I think you may be stuck, unless you can find a driver from a different comptuer maker that is newer still.

I did a "geforce go 6200" search at Nvidia and then found the list of "partner (http://www.nvidia.com/page/go_6200partners.html)" sites with all the system makers that use their video cards. Then it's just a matter of seaching those sites for any info on your particular video card and see if they have a link to a driver update. Sony was easy because I had your computer model number.

Well, I finally got it to work. What I did was download a modded INF file and paste it over the extracted material of the driver. It seems that regular drivers *can* work for laptops; the only thing hindering that from happening are differences between the INF files, the INF files being the information files for installation.

Thanks for the help. :) Now I can go produce more scenarios. :D

Where did you find out about he hacked INF file?

[Azeem]

On a website called "laptopvideo2go."

Ok, I was checking that site out last night when I was looking for a driver file update for you.
