Hey folks, hope all is well.

I have a question about making my laptop work faster with TF2

I just recently installed it and am having all kinds of problems playing. Some times fine just a little slow. But lately I have been going to blue screen in the middle of play and it has been lagging hard.

I am fairly sure my drivers are all updated but its no monster computer and only has an intergrated ATI 200m video dealeo, i know that from updating my drivers.

What can i do to speed things up?

Laptop is an Acer aspire 5100. I use it for work but like to have Half life and now tf2 on it for night time, so i don't disrupt the missus.

Thanks for any help and sorry once again for being a computer noob.

I can barely run TFC on my laptop...I don't even try to play FF or TF2 on it. Confused

Unless your laptop is brand new and state of the art...I doubt you'll ever get it to play smooth. But like Demasu suggested...list your complete specs. How do your spec match up to the minimum required for TF2 Question
