Hi i have just purchased a new dell inspiron 8100 laptop and have put midtown madness on there.

Now when i come to play it i always get a screen resolution mesage saying that i must change it to 1600*1200..i have already done this in desktop settings advanced etc...but still get this mesg when the game starts up etc.

Now when i play the game and have selected the screen resolution in options of the game graphics..set it to 1600*1200 and when i play the game the game plays ok..but while driving around i see big blocks coming from the sky and very much appearing from anywhere...i can just drive through them put something is wrong.

I have a nvida 32mb geforce2 go graphics card.

Max payne plays well and no probs etc..

I updated the bios version from dells site below is the link: http://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/results.asp?sid=INS_PNT_P3CT_8100&lang=EN&lib=0&os=WW1&searchtype=filter&devid=1329

and also updated the video drivers link below

hope this makes sense.

Go to the Microsoft Tech Support site and see if they have a solution. They probably have a patch to support GEForce's. Meanwhile, you can run the game on the software drivers. The graphics will be bad, but the game is playable.
Go to the visual options and hit the drop-down menu. Change the hardware driver to software driver. You'll probably want to turn the graphic detail down, because the game will be choppy if it's on full.

Wassup Sanjay. You enjoying your spanking new laptop? :round:
