Okay, well I managed to get Ultimate installed on our laptop, except I have some major problems with it.
First off, the laptop's main monitor has a great mess of scanlines everywhere. I see multiple everything because of this, and only about half of the screen is being used. Changing the resolution only makes it worse, so I have to keep it on the lowest resoluton. When I hook an external monitor to the laptop, everything on that looks fine, but I still have the glitchy display on the laptop.
My video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000, and I have the official drivers installed. I am considering a problem may be the fact that I have Vista Ultimate running on the laptop with 512 Megs of RAM. (Minimum core requirement.) I may try switching to Home Basic, but I'm not sure if it will make any difference, I need an experts advice on this.
My second, not as crucial problem is when I close the lid to the laptop, and then lift it back up, the backlight won't turn back on! I can see the desktop, but there's just no light.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.  |

Good luck! *..* |

I'm gonna prolly just move to Home Basic, because this little machine just can't handle Ultimate...
Do you guys think that changing Vista versions will change anything? |

*..* - this smilie? I quite like it, not as good as the original  of course, but it has its merits. |

The GUI looks awesome, and it runs like a charm, even though its running on minimum requirements!
Thanks for your help Onyx! w00t! |
