Goodam awful gfx card, becoming the most popular in small laptops and just will not run catacombs.
It runs TOA perfectly with full effects, but 'renderer creation error ' with cat/laby engine.
Tried 3d analyze..no luck, anyone got any ideas?
The funny thing is older mobile chipsets will work and newer ones obviously, but his particular chip just goes belly up.
Got the latest driver/directx

Checked if you got the latest Bios for mobo also?

I'll try that , though the lappy is brand new, it's the MSI Wind clone from Advent, plays WOW like a dream, but there's something about the Cata engine it doesn't like.

Render error sounds like a directX problem specially since ToA runs fine, try upgrading to latest directX and drivers
