    Well the lappy came in the mail today and Ive spent most of the day messing around with it.
    Everything was great untill I tried to play BF2 and Special Forces. IN BF2 I keep getting kicked by punkbuster saying something about o/s privalages, and when I tried to play Special forces it wouldnt even start the game and some message popped up about how it couldnt find some shaders file.
    Anyone have this problem or know what might fix it?
    I can get the exact error message if you would like.
    Thanks.

    You need to turn UAC off most likely.

    or just run BF2 as administator... right click the icon, underproperties, tell it to run as admin.
