    When I try to run it, it says "Fifa 09 Requires Hardware Graphics Acceleration"

    Dxdiag says that hardware acceleration is enabled, but I still can't run it. I've checked the Lenovo websites, the drivers there are the same that I have.

    Should I try a custom driver from laptopvideo2go?

    Does it matter that I'm using an external monitor?

    I hope you arent using some relic drivers from 1872..You should give moded ones a try,I use 190.57 drivers and they are stable a lot better than 180.81.

    Well, I've downloaded the 190.62 driver from laptopvideo2go. But it doesn't detect my external monitor resolution right. I'll try 190.57 or 190.56
