Vista Gaming Issues
Sup guys.
So, I'm running Windows Vista (Bash me later, save me now), and I'm having serious problems with running games downloaded off the internet (Minecraft, GunBound, etc.).
Many thanks,
S

It's got an ATI Radeon HD 3200 according to HP, which is a HD 2400 with a new name & no dedicated memory.
Soooo, the 1st thing to poke is it's drivers. ATI drivers suck at the best of times, but their laptop ones suck multiple sacks at once. Normally I'd tell you to poke it with Mobility Modder & use a standard Catalyst driver but yours isn't on the supported list. :/
Anyway, drivers - change the one you've got. Keep in mind ATI/AMD ditched support for it late 2010 so you're stuck with whatever crap they made before that.
