Temp Computer game questions

[Hernite]

Ok, so my video card fried on my laptop and I am using the other PoS laptop until I get my Vaio fixed in 2 to 4 weeks. LOL

 

 

I tried to get oblivion to run in the absolute minimum settings but after the tutorial CTD and the graphics reminded me of the old days in Wolfenstein. LOL

 

My questions are

1. Can I get Oblivion running?

2. Other games that will work? Morrowind and such...

You may be able to get morrowind up but I don't think you meet the minimum spec's for oblivion with that machine.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. Low end system from 2007. Wife loves it however, for Playing her puzzle and flash games it works great. LOL

Well, it never hurts to load things up and give it a try but I don't think you'll be able to do much. Wish I had better news

Yup,it was worth a try. Dug Morrowind out of a box I have not looked in, for years. Works but still chokes a bit. I hope MOSE will fix some of that. Advice?
