GPU: I believe an Intel GMA 3100, 256mb (integrated chip, shitty IK. Driver is latest version from 2009, 8.15.10.1930
RAM: 4gb
On an old laptop I acquired I could play ET fairly well (60-65fps most maps) and then I thought I had upgraded to a desktop/more efficient computer as the only reason I really need one is to play ET. The main problem I'm having here is it will launch just fine, intro plays, song plays, but there is just a gray screen the entire time. I can skip through the intro, but I cannot go through any other controls. I've tried reinstalling, and setting in the startup parameters, +r_mode -1 +r_customwidth 1024 +r_customheigth 768, as I figured an old game like this wouldn't run too well on native 1080p. I've tried running as admin (although I figured this was a deeper problem) but no luck. I've tried installing ETLegacy as well because they say that its supposed to be compatible with anything or some shit, but that wouldn't even launch just the ETLegacy has stopped error. Any help is much appreicated!
