Toshiba Satellite runs SL?

Hey everyone!

I am trying to run SL in a Notebook Toshiba Satellite, but it crashes when the game would start, right after the login and after the region downloading... what can be wrong?

My system is:

Notebook Toshiba Satellite
Pentium 4
Windows XP Professional
1,7 GHz
256M of RAM
S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC SDR (584)

I have updated the video driver at S3 Graphics but the SL is still crashing.
Tried to install directx 9, nothing either.

What can I do????

Thanks for any help!

S3 isnt supported it does NOT provide the needed 3d graphics support

I am having the same problem. I log in and it loads, and once it is about to go into the game it crashes. I have never had this problem on my old Dell desktop with XP. I am starting to think it is a Vista problem..I have done the right click < Run as Administrator...and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled again and again (Both Normal and Release Client)..Turned off my firewall. Almost everything I could think of. If anybody has any tips or could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've also had problems, I run SL, and nothing happens. But when I check task manager,it's right there in there in Processes using 4,220k of memory. hmmmmmm strange. After that I had updated my grpahics drivers to be on the safe side thinking that it may solve the problem but nope that didn't do squat. I can't be the only one that's totally frustrated by this bullsh!t. I have yet to find a solution to this. Boo Microsoft, YOU SUCK!!!

I had problems with Vista in another computer. I t was an desktop not a notebook. I could solve this problem just upgrading the driver of my video board. In my case, I accessed the ATI website and download the new version of the driver.

Unfortunatly I think Osgeld is right, I have to change my notebook, the video board is not enough for SL. But what surprises me is the fact I can run almost anything in this notebook, even 3D Dtudio Max!!! but SL.

If anybody knows a way to run SL in my Satellite. Please let me know!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

3d studio max hardly does anything in realtime, biuld a world in it with tons and tons of large textures and dynamicly animate it see what it does

uyse the nicholas viewer run all settings at MIN lowest you can and you can run it...
I run it on a Toshibia notebook... set like that with an intel945 chip.

used to run it great too

edit as well have nothing on but SL no anything not even virus stuff and hardwire ...wireless will cause isues as well..

and keep it COLD !

I am using a Toshiba laptop as well. But I have the 915GM Express chipset (not supported). It will run the standard SL viewer but constantly crashes. I found that the WL/FL viewer 1.18.6.75762 works great. No crashes. I have not been able to get WL/FL 1.18.6.76116 to even load as of yet.

I have been running SL on a Toshiba Satellite P200 13Z with RAM upgraded to 2048. Intel graphics - and provided I throttle everything down - i.e., draw distance set to minimum, all graphics details set to low and don't render particles and clouds - SL is just about runable and gives me 9 -10 fps. It is not an ideal system for a gaming machine, which is why I am seeking to upgrade.

Edit - forgot to say I am running on Vista

It's not Vista I can assure you...

I'm running Vista and am not having a problem. I did have a problem of repeated crashing but a graphics card driver update fixed it.

What it might be is some of the other programs you are running whilst trying to run SL (the manufacturer "utilities". I removed these by reformatting the hard disk and having a clean install of Vista with just the required drivers and nothing else.
