    Just keep your version of Farcry and drivers current.

    Vista and Far Cry have noted compatibility problems. Update the game and you should be fine.

    With the latest patch, Farcry should install and run fine on Vista, I believe it has some issues still, but if you Google it you might find some third party answers for that. And your notebook will run it perfectly fine maxed I believe.

    i have the 1.4 patch and have tried 3 different video drivers, the game runs fine, but has problems. Sometimes my mouse does not work, and sometimes the game crashes after load or during gameplay. Also, my DEVMODE backspace cheat does not work for God mode.
