    Ok so this is probably all my fault but here it goes: I went to reformat and reinstall Windows Vista Premium my new Sager 5760 to just find out how to do it while I didn't have anything important on it, which I managered to do. However, when I go look at it's score, both gaming graphics and graphics are a dismal 1.0. Before my base score was higher (I don't remember what). I go check the grpahics card, which was a 512mb before, was now saying it was a 256mb :confused: . I also go to play Chess Titans to go see how much it effected my graphics, and changed it from the nice 3D graphics to a crappy 2D over the top view of the board. Does anyone have any idea what I did to cause this? Even better yet how to fix this? I just got this computer yesterday and I am really upset over the prospect that I already screwed up my laptop, so please can anyone help? :(

    btw I ordered the laptop from xoticpc...if that means anything idk

    Sounds like your video card drivers aren't installed. If your lappy came with a Driver CD, stick that in and install the drivers and everything should be back to normal.

    Doesn't sound like your Graphic drivers are installed properly. formatting you PC shoudln't destroy your 3D capabilities.. at most something is wrong with the Drivers..

    windows doesn't include Drivers for our card out of the box.. if you need help with goto nvidia website and download their drivers and hit me up for the inf.. Or I can show you how to edit the inf to allow the drivers from nvidia to install on the mobile gpu.
