does your vid card share ram? I know my laptop claim to be a 512 Graphics card, but it shares it ram so its really not, especially when other apps want a piece of the 512 ram in the system

they are shared... but both .. the pc an the lap..
so.. that can't be the issue

Hello amigo,

What type of video card you have on your laptop? If you provide the specs will be easier for us to try to help you. Sometimes, depending on the type of video card, just by tweaking the preferences solves the problem.


Gracias.
