I bought a Vista laptop about a year ago, and I want to start using it for Quake.
It's a Dual core, gig of ram, and has a Geforce Go 6150 in it. I THINK it's onboard, and NOT a dedicated card.
Before I reformatted my machine, I remember running quake 3 at 125fps in Vista, with the graphic drivers off the HP website (The laptop is a DV2310CA).
I reformatted, put on a Vista and XP partition.
On the Vista partition, I had Quake 3 at 125fps with the drivers off the website. Everything was fine, so the next day, I booted it up, and now Quake won't run at all. (Quake 3 has encountered an error and must close).
Now, on the XP parition, I've been using different drivers, since they don't have XP drivers on the HP website.
I tried these - http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12366
And I tried the 97.02 drivers (The same as my desktop)
But, no matter what, I don't get 125 constant, I get 40-80, give or take. Sometime I hit 100.
I tried setting the affinity, didn't work.
It is an AMD dual core, so maybe I need to try the dual core patch/fix?
Any ideas on either getting it to work on XP or Vista?
