    hmm ok i don't know the game so i cant really help u with that. but the notebook u have should be able to run that game i think, i mean tha hardware shouldnt make a difference just because it is in a notebook. but if u have problems installing it than it really should note make any difference on a notebook/desktop.. why can't u install it? Error?

    What kind of install problems are you having, as in, where exactly does the install fail?

    I will try again tonight. It actually installed but when I ran launched the game it gave me a cryptic message, which I didn't write down. :eek:

    I installed it at work to see if it was a bad file, it wouldn't run here either saying my graphics card didn't support shaders - a 128mb ATI card.

    another poster above said he's running it fine so I guess it's me.

    Thanks guys.

    I`ll just try to continue here this conversation since i have some problems with the game too. It`s not that i cant install it but i want to get to a console and i cant. I found out the same problem few times before with different games. I switched language of keyboard, tried multipress of different keys but with no luck. I believe it`s the notebooks issue and i dont know how to approach the problem.

    Thx
