Ok so I created a partition using BootCamp and downloaded Windows 7. The partition is 50-50, and I downloaded SR several times. I am using the 64 bit disk.(I've already tried the 32) When I press the Start button on the launcher, the game does not ever launch properly (rarely goes to the server screen). Every time, it just shows the SR banner and just stops there. The few times it does get to the server selection screen, it has major lag and cannot be accessed. Also, the SR shortcut on my desktop has a little shield on it, I try running as an administrator but that doesn't work either. I've tried compatibility mode and still nothing. I was wondering if anyone can figure out what is wrong and how I can get into SR. Here are my specs:

Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 2.26GHz

Installed memory(RAM): 2.00GB (1.72 GB usable)

System type: 64-bit Operating System


Thanks,

Your specs are ok for sro I think. well, I'm not sure about your video card, so that might be the problem:)

Oh btw: Taylor <3

My computer says my Standard VGA is up to date, but my computer rates my graphics performance a 1 (the lowest). How do you improve graphics performance? drivers? walk me through it explicitly because I'm not very experienced with this type of thing.

You can't really "improve" your graphic card performance. I mean, you can set lower settings in game so that it won't lag but since u can't even get into game, well...
What graphic card do u have? (Right click on my computer, manage, device manager, and u'll find it in the list).

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M:

Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Color LCD:

Well, your gpu is okay too... I don't know what may cause the problem. Try to download drivers. If u already did then there should be some options where u can select u want to improve the performance (lower quality) or u want to improve the quality (lower performance).

How would I do that exactly? I went to device manager and checked everything and it said it was all up to date. Is there something specific I have to do? And I have no idea if this applies here but will Mac OS X Leopard do anything?

win7 64 bit:

there u can download the drivers. And well, maybe it's cuz of the bootcamp thingy. Don't exactly know what it is and never tried it since I don't have a mac.

THANK YOU you are a saint. That was exactly what I needed. This should be stickied for future reference.
