Re: Please help me!!!

too lazy to just type what the problem is?

What are the exact specs of your laptop?

Try downloading the newest videodrivers from the MSI website.

Re: Please help me!!!

Is that the so called "Gray Screen of Death"? That's usually taken care of by installing latest drivers, like Neshi said. Depending on your laptop brand, either pick them up at your laptop manufacturer's site, or directly from AMD.

Re: Please help me!!!

Diablo II should be playable on that setup. Try the advice given and come back to us with the results.

Here's an updated driver for your graphics card, try it and see if it helps.

IvanV gave you the link to the laptop,Not in the intention to Buy it... Just look at the links just below the Pic of the laptop.

Your current driver on the JPG you gave is 8.682.0 (or 10.1) MSI are hosting 8.723.0.0000 (I don't know which version this is) which my need updating.

All operating systems has a Basic VGA driver that is usually installed so you can still see what you are doing after the removal of a Graphics Driver.

Re: Please help me!!!

Download The Driver From Here it's for windows 7 32 bit.It's A zipped file so you will need to Unzip it to a file on your hard drive.I usually make one in my Documents so its easy to be found.

Once that is done you will need to go through Add/Remove Programs.This is found via the Control Panel.

Find the Graphics card driver in the list.Click and select uninstall...

After a few minuites it will ask you to restart the Laptop. Do so.

When it's rebooted it will be using the basic VGA driver as i mentioned..

Now go back to the latest driver that i linked above.. Open up the file and there should be a Set-Up.exe file...You will need to double Click that to start the installation.Then follow the instructions..

Once Installed it will again ask you to reboot...So do so...

Hopefully an updated driver may fix it.... So good luck.

I believe everything you needed to fix the problem has been provided to you. We just can't come to your place and do it for you. You have to follow the instructions provided.

How does the laptop perform with just the Windows "native" drivers? That is, when you uninstall the ATI/AMD drivers and Windows installs its own drivers, what happens?

In that case there is Hardware issue if the error is still there in basic VGA...

Overheating perhaps.
