    I know that, but the game works on Low settings on my friends laptop and just wont work on mine and he's got the exact same laptop as me, same configuration and everything, just different OS languages. Could this have anything to do with the registry or something? and plus my Hardware surpasses minimum settings:
    - AMD Athlon X2 @1.90 GHz rated at 3.80Ghz running both cores
    - ATI Radeon HD 3200 - 256MB - SM 4.0
    - 3GB DDR2 ram
    My laptop should be able to also play this game at minimu settings, theres even a video of some guy playing this game on an extremely low end PC

    I mean my laptop can play crysis at a good framerate on low settings... playable frame rate on Medium....

    And i dont understand why FEAR2 crashes my Entire PC when its launched
