re: **General In Game Problem Thread

I don't know if this is the right thread so if not please tell me where I need to go. I have a laptop and was wondering if it will run on it. I hear that it was not running well on laptops. I have a Dell Inspiron 4100 with a Pentium III and running XP. Thank you in advance.

Well I heard that someone who was having problems running it on his laptop called Rockstar Technical help and they said something about not being able to run on laptops.

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

I've heard many horror stories about GTAIII being used on XP. I suppose there are a few lucky ones, but it sounds like a lot of people are unhappy with the result.

Well, R* has said that GTAIII is not officially supported on laptops. It's kind of hit-or-miss, you're either lucky or you're not. Might as well give it a try, but I don't think it'll work out too well...XP seems to be having problems and to top it off, your computer isn't supported.

There are ways which should work to fix the problems with XP. If you want to update your drivers, then click on one of the links in my first post (depends which video card you have), and the rest should be pretty self explanatory.
If you want to find out which video card you have, then right-click on your desktop and go to display, and it should tell you there.

Edit: Added bit about how to find out about what graphics card you are using.

Mrplisky, the second part of my post was directed to Banshee420. As far as I know, your computer is supported.

Good lord, man, that is one old computer. I'm sorry to say that it is quite obsolete. For your 1450 pounds (sorry, I'm in America, don't have a key for that), you could now buy a very nice system, about 1.7 Ghz (1700 Mhz), a nice sound card, 64 MB video card, 256 or even 512 SDRAM, and a very sizable hard drive (about 40 gigs).
