Did you ever play these same games before?
Do the requirements of the game exceed the specs you have?

Ok lets see what your working with. If you would:
Go to Start > Run > Type in "dxdiag" without the quotes.
Post a screen shot of the System Tab and the Display Tab.

Well I believe the problem here is that you are running a Generic Video driver
Did this laptop come with XP originally ? If so do you have the driver disks?

ilovekids · 07-12-2008, 02:26 PM

i brought my laptop 2nd hand so i dnt know if it come with win xp originally but i do have the win xp disk has i have it installed on my pc
as for the drivers to everything else i dont have them can i get them from anywhere or download them? (if thats wot i need)

**wrench97** · 07-12-2008, 03:15 PM

The only video driver download I found on the Toshiba site also requires a bios flash using a floppy drive I don't recommend doing a Bios flash if you've never done one, If done incorrectly on a laptop it can require a motherboard replacement to repair.
I do however see that you only have 256 meg of ram installed I would suggest that first you add another 256meg of ram as it holds 512 max. I'm not sure where you're at but everything I've found on this model has been in the UK.
