    FEAR has fairly steep system requirements. What are the specs on your laptop? Do they meet the requirements of the game?

    Operating system.
    Processor speed.
    Ram.
    Video card.
    etc.

    Open the options settings on the game. Reducing some of the settings, ie. Resolution, lighting, shadows, etc. may help in game performance.

    Have you checked for any patch or update download for the game?

    Yes, it IS a good game.

    dell inspiron l6400
    Genuine intel(r)cpu
    t2050 @ 1.60GHz
    798mhz. 0,99gb ram

    im runnin windows xp home ed. service pack 2

    my video cards a mobile intel(r) 945gm express chipset family

    like i said, it runs really smooth, but once i get to the vampire guy that lays u flat, the game jus shuts down and returns to windows. very iritating. non-the less, i tried reducing the resolution and stuff but it didnt make a difference. yeah theres an update but its a terribly large file. i used t have the same problem with Battlefront 2.....but it fixed it self? Not having the same luck with this one though. pls hlp. thnx

    OK. I just looked at the box on my copy of FEAR. It says your processor must be at least 1.7 GHz or better. Could be your problem. Recommends a processor speed of 3.0 GHz.

    I am not familiar with your video card. The box says 64 MB GF 4 Ti or Radeon 9000 video card required. Might be a problem. There is a whole list of supported chipsets for ATI and nVidia. I see no mention of yours.

    Do you have DirectX 9.0 installed.

    My system runs at 3.0 GHz and I still had to lower some settings. Some lags at points in the game. It is a resource hog and it probably will crash somewhere if you are weak on any of the requirements.

    ok well i jus tried lowering the settings but that didnt help either. i guess that leaves patches and updates. the updates are really large so ill try a patch first. Anybody know wat kinda patches i shud get. im really sorry if im askin too much, my experience lies wit the psp so im a noob wit da pc. i jus realized my computer was an untapped resource.

    P:S my copys a backup......

    Not to thrash a horse, but you probably won't have too much success running the game on that laptop. The processor speed is a little short. And the video card chipset might or might not be supported.

    Anyway, good luck with trying. BTW, I just got my issue of the Extraction Point expansion pack in the mail today. The requirements are at least as high.
