    Try turning the Ultra settings down to High. I play the game on my desktop (specs below) all maxed out with 2x AA at 1680x1050. If I ever get a chance to try it on my 1530 I'll let you know how it goes.

    Hi All

    I've just installed Race Driver GRID and 1.1 Update. When I launch a game, intro and main menu run extremely slow. There is like just a few frames and I can't do a thing.

    My lappy is XPS M1530 with 8600M GT and clocks at 600/900 (CPU 2,4GHz, 2GB ram). I'm using 177.70 drivers and Win XP Pro with SP3.

    Any ideas ?
