Depends what graphics card too and ram you got, also sl has been bad last few weeks so could be you logged in at wrong time they did go offline for a while, try again and good luck!

If it is brand new then most likely you have factory video drivers installed, and that means they are very very old.

Go to the website for your video card manufacturer (nvidia or ATI) and follow there instructions on downloading and installing new drivers.

If you have already done this feel free to say so.

He actualy did state he has a brand new xps420. Which in itself is capable of running SL.

Sometimes you need to put SL on trusted status so A/V programs will let it work.

I only mention it as I used to need to reset that, when I had Norton, every time I updated SL.

Providing some systems specs might be useful.

What operating system and service pack level
Amount of ram
Type of video card
Amount of video ram

and other such stuff.

There's another thread about the same model at /111/df/301957/1.html .
