Graphics problem 
			 
			
				I have a new laptop, an HP Pavilion dv6000. It has the requirements to run Penumbra. Vista, 1.87gigs of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150.  
 
The requirements are here: 
OS: Windows 2000/XP 
Processor: 1Ghz 
Memory: 256MB 
Disc Space: 300MB free(for demo) 
Video Card: Radeon 8500/GeForce 3 
 
Yet when I try to play the game it is incredibly slow. The movies run fine, the audio is okay... it's just it lags so much graphically. So I tried setting everything on the lowest level on the game's graphics menu. It helped, but only slightly. 
 
 
 
What's going on?

				your ram;  I believe penumbra needs 500 ram to work. 
Turn your resolution in the game down to 600x700  or whatever it is (not 600x800, there's a resolution below that one) 
I switched to that one, and it really helped it me.  Try shutting down background tasks that you aren't using, and try running a defragment on your computer.
			 
			
			
 
Please  -REP me. 
Honestly, please do.  I want to see how low I can go!! 
Ignore that error message too.  Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.
