    No its a laptop with T&L support...

    I have recently tried to download and run the new Omega drivers, but I have no idea how to "backup" or "save" my current drivers just in case these dont work or arent the right thing..

    Help?...

      I upgraded to a Nvifia GFORCE2 5500 a few months ago 79 $ US
      This works fine. If I were buying again I woud opt for
      something a little better. I have a 32 MB Card on my laptop and Civ 4 will not load.

        Just backup the installation program for your current drivers. If the Omega ones create problems, you can just reinstall. But they shouldn't be a problem, it sounds like the Omage drivers are stable.

        Incidentally, some people are reporting that they've had luck getting their card to work by turning off the ARP acceleration in their SmartGart settings. This slows the game down, but if they reboot, turn it back up one, reboot again, then turn up to two, they get some of that speed back.

          Well... loaded the most current Omega drivers and loaded up Civ4 to find that once again I see nothing but blackness... cold dark void of terrain... I suppose I am helpless until a patch...

          P.S. what is SmartGart and ARP and can I manipulate them to fix this? (still hopeful...)

            Go to Control Panel>Display>Setting>Advanced you'll see a tab that says SmartGart there. There's a slider there that will allow you to turn off the ARP acceleration.

            BTW, did you uninstall your old drivers before you added the Omega ones. That's recommended over at the ATI site. You can get an uninstaller there if you haven't.

                and this is what showed up when I tried to load the Tray Tools from the desktop... I am beginning to wonder if there is a deeper problem...

                  It looks like the driver for your card doesn't have SmartGart adjustments. There should be a specific tab with that name on it. It seems you're out of luck then.

                  I'm not sure about the Tray Tools thing but I wouldn't worry about it to much, as long as you can access your Contol Panel settings.

                        Yes.

                        Civers need their fix. I feel for you.

                                Very big bummer.

                                I really hope you find a way... a friend, a pt job... something. Civ is just that important.
