Hi.

It loads find, I click to run the demo test, I see the loading screen and then the screen goes BLACK.

I have a Mobility Radeon 9700 64mb , according to the list below it should work , unless it mean the 128mb 9700?

Is my graphic memory too low!

My laptop specs are in my signature.

Aquamark3 : WORKS
3dmark03 : WORKS
3dmark05 : FIRST TEST WORKS : BUT THEN BLANK SCREEN : TASKMANAGER = PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING?
3dmark06 : NOT WORKING? : TASKMANAGER = PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING?

Thanks

John.

There may be problems with the SM3.0/HDR tests, since the Mobility Radeon 9700 doesn't support Shader Model 3, only 2.
If none of the tests work, however, I'm stumped.

Hi.

according to the link i provided the "Mobility Radeon 9700 (VS2.0 / PS2.0)" is compatible

I think the 64mb memory just cannot cut it!!!
