    Hi everybody.

    I bought a new dell inspiron 1520 with this configuration:

    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GB
    Memory 2.0 GB
    Video Card nVidia GeForce 8600M GT 256MB
    Windows Vista Basic

    but when I run some games like "ScarFace",I only see something like a sky and gun flying and some time the face of the character,Although I run the game in the highest setting and the lowest setting but there is no difference in the graphics.

    another problem in "Call Of Duty 2" Game when I ran it with anti-aliasing 4x ,I see no thing in the screen just the map and the rest of the screen looks white like the dust ,no characters or building or sky,but when I run it with anti-aliasing of "2x" or "off" it ran normally.

    So can any body help me with these problems by any way because I bought this laptop because its video card 8600m GT but now I am very dissappointed.

    is it a problem of incomptaibiliy with vista or the drivers or the game itself or the 8600M GT.

    please help :confused2: :confused2:

    If you're still running the stock drivers for your video card I would start there and update them. Make sure and get the modded ini file to go with it.

    The newest official version is 156.73, though the 167.26 appears to provide very good performance.
