Okay, today I bought a "Award Winning Combo" of Bioshock and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. When I installed Bioshock and try to run it I get this "not responding" error. I have windows 7, I've tried changing the compatibility, I've tried installing the newest directX9. I've uninstalled and reinstalled three times and it still won't work. Anyone got a fix?
I hate to be a complete idiot but yeah. My model is listed now. Its a laptop, its the Toshiba Satilite A135-S4656 and I haven't done anything to it except max out ram, which is 2 gb. I've updated my drivers and everything so yeah.
processor: Intel Celeron M CPU 1.6 GHZ
Ram: 2.00 gigs (Speed?)
Graphics Card Memory Ammount:
The computer is pretty old, got it two years ago I suppose.
I updated a bout a month or so ago. I did everything. A lot of people seem to be getting this error. I suppose no one has asked on this forum. Hm...
akutabimikami Windows 7 isn't the problem, sorry to say it is the poor excuse for a graphics card that Intel makes. Looking at the full specs for your laptop which can be found here,
Model Content Page
it has the GMA 950 in it which pretty much doesn't have a snowball's chance in you-know-what of ever playing those games.
Specs for Oblivion,
The Elder Scrolls
and specs for Bioshock,
Official BioShock System Requirements
and the GMA 950 isn't even close to making the list for either. Sorry to say you want to play those games you're going to need a computer that meets at least the minimum requirements; and you can't upgrade the video on that laptop.
Oh..thank you Stormy. I didn't think that would be the problem seeing as how wolverine ran fine on my laptop. so did left for dead. :/
