    Hi,

    I am trying to run Quantum of Solace on my Acer 6920G Laptop, the game installs but then when loading the screen goes black and flickers. I can hear some brief stuttering sound and the loading text at the bottom of the screen appears but then it just hangs..........?

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Regards,
    Jez

    update your video drivers, and reinstall the game.

    Which drivers would you recommend, as the Nvidia website does not have up-to-date drivers for the Geforce 9500M GS 512MB.........

    If you want up to date drivers, you will have to travel over to Laptop Video 2 Go ( here) and choose which one you like. Each driver will run better on different games and setups but I would recommend the latest ones in the 18x forum.
