same error file as the one that appears when i click the 'X'
iv changed some settings to see if they would fix it they did not so i switched them back
when i start minecraft it doesnt....lets call it crash (even though it doesnt give me a "minecraft has crashed" screen).
untill i start a world its like a primed waiting to quit by itself
if anyone could help itd be great appreciated thanks

post acutal specs, dxdiag up TO sound... and this is about your LAPTOP yet you talk about your desktop for no reason and how IT doesn't work........ which has nothing to do with your laptop?

I see no dxdiag... I see some fake system specs which don't make sense but look extremely old as it's a thinkpad which were designed to run MS word and have somewhat decent battery life as they couldn't DO anything taxing.

1.5ghz Pent M and 1.5gb of ram... barely can handle it my itself, I'm positive the card is not even capable of running it but I like people to read, comprehend and follow instructions instead of blatantly ignoring instructions and complaining.

i used the info in the my computer properties
cause quite frankly i dont know how to get the specs and nor do i know where there are instructions =]

hmmm off topic :


now how do i mix this stuff
what NO PIGGY STA....... BOOOOOOOM

use instructions in the link in my sig to post your dxdiag

Yeah, I get lag from Minecraft, and I have 12 times more processor power than you, and 2 GB of RAM.

-Basicly, I'm surprised you can USE the laptop.

That card is UNSUPPORTED for just about any game made after 2001... That's close to the DX6 era.

so your saying if i get a newer video card i could maybe perhaps run the game longer then 1000 seconds
cause that's the longest it has run

please enlighten me if not

That would be correct... except you cannot change your GPU as you have a laptop... RAM and a HD is about all that can be changed with a laptop 99% of the time.

Yep, too old.
Not much saying i had an old gateway that kind of sucks.
but gateway sucks in general.
Try playing in the browser for increased performance.

well iv tried it in the browser but with no prevail
thanks for the help tho if ya can point me in the right direction to get a working cheap devise for a 8 year old ill greatly appreciate it

you cannot GET a cheap working device... other than a NEW laptop, you CANNOT change anything but your RAM and HD.... CPU would be a possibility but one hell of a stretch. Laptops are NOT "upgradable" unlike desktops, though you have to have a mobo and PSU which can handled the upgraded parts.
