Buy a new video card?
Or correct drivers can be downloaded from nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us I'm guessing a 6100 probably can't handle SL or is overheating? |

it can do it, its not impressive or anything but ...
try drivers, reinstall directX, and check for heat also see how much ram its being given access to, SL needs atleast 64MB to run (not well) |

Maybe try setting your resolution lower, and graphics settings lower.
Make sure AA and AF are turned off, the 6100 is not the most powerful so something could be choking it out. open SL, clear all your cache, web cache, network cache etc.. Set graphics settings to lowest possible, see how it runs, then if theres any difference increase your settings a bit. |
