I'm having a terrible time with PC games on my computer, Dell Inspiron E1705 Laptop. I have recently bought Herios V and Vampire Masquerade and neither one work. They install fine but when I go to start the game, it loads for 2 sec then crashes back to the desktop. My computer has more than the min. game requirements. I have downloaded patches, installed driver detective to update all my drivers, and downloaded spybot to make sure there wasn't a virus. When I searched my desktop for the problem I found that a crash file appeared for everytime I tried to load the game. This is some of what it says: * * * Vampire Crash Data Log, Generated From Exe Built On: Oct 6 2004 * * * vampire caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module ntdll.dll at 001b:7c9111de. Read from location 3f000000 caused an access violation. -----[ SysInfo ]----- Error occurred at 8/28/2 008 22:19:26. 1 processor(s), type 586. 79% memory in use. 1015 MBytes physical memory. 212 MBytes physical memory free. 2442 MBytes paging file. 1620 MBytes paging file free. 2048 MBytes user address space. 1927 MBytes user address space free. What does this mean and can it be fixed??? Thanks!!

"I'm having a terrible time with PC games on my computer" That's because your laptop is NOT a gamer. There were a couple of optional graphics "cards" available for the Inspiron E1705, but if your's came with the standard Intel GMA950 graphics, you can just about forget gaming with it. And there's no way to upgrade the graphics...you'd have to buy a different laptop. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-... http://www.dell.com/content/product...
