I just got a new HP laptop and i figured it could handle the requirements of Arma 2 Heres the laptop in question: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+-+Espresso+Black/9700732.p?id=1218152460131&skuId=9700732 so excited, I took it home and installed it, and started it and disaster! all I get is a wierd bunch of gray shapes which I assume to be a distorted menu screen everywhere and terrible graphics, so i tried boot camp, same thing! So i unistalled it and reinstalled it, and no luck. So i downloaded the patch 1.05 and no luck. So im pissed and plan to return it to best buy, which sucks cause this game seems awesome and i just want it fixed! any suggestions? im running windows 7 64 bit, could that be it? help me before i return this game!! aghhhh
