ok, i have 2 differnet problems, both pretty weird.

1. evry time i log into gw's, it works fine, but after about 5-10 mins of game play, my screeen goes blue.it wont go away, so i have to totally shut down my computer by holding the power button down,then restart.

this problem in pretty sure is because of ny video card, but anyway---

2. every now and then, when playing gw's, my computer will go crazy and my graphics just,die, no joke. it looks like a 3 year old drew the screeen, thats how bad it is.

any idea wat is up with my comp???

You already answered your own question.

But your PC specs would help anyway.

Start
Run
dxdiag
OK

Information is there, plus the 'Display' tab shows you the Graphics Card info.

All you can do is make sure that you chipset is utilizing all the memory it can. This is automatically done in Win 2k and Win XP though. You can make sure you have the newest drivers... but beyond that, from my understanding, Intel is no longer even supporting the card.

ok thx im thinking about buying a new video card but dang, they are expensive!

Unluckily... laptop video cards are integrated. Meaning they are fused with the motherboard and are not upgradeable.
