    Hi, folks! Just got my nephew`s Lenovo G565 notebook, and I want to test it according to Can you run it... When I go to different websites that offer it, it just hangs there, saying "Installing...", or "Downloading..."
    Is it maybe because my Windows 7 Home premium is 64-bit?

    What browser do you use? IE and Firefox are the only supported browsers, I think.

    Oooooooohhhhhhhhhh, that might be the catch... I installed Mozilla and Chrome, and must have been using the latter when trying to test notebook for games..
    Thanks, I`ll try Mozilla now... :)

    it could be the activex is being blocked and not giving you the option to allow it. you also need java loaded.

    here > http://www.java.com/en/download/inc/windows_upgrade_xpi.jsp

    edit. not running for me either.just says loading components.

    tell ya what. tell us ya spec and we will tell you if you can play it.

    Ha, ha, very funny... :)
    It comes with 5470. Here are the specs Lenovo G565 M42D6UK

    I know I can play it, but just wanted to test the laptop for testing sake... :)
    I run (and play) Ghost reckon 2 on max settings on 1366x768 with 35 fps, and it feels smooth...And the laptop is really cool during gameplay...

    I wouldn't trust can you run it man It's not that accurate. YouGamers gameometer is more accurate :)
