			|  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. |  |
