I'm a newb to this forum and I could use your expert's help.
I have the above-noted Toshiba. When I try to load up Halo 2 for Vista I get the following message:

Can I run Halo on the Toshiba with this sort of message or is it hopeless? Thanks.

Unfortunately as noted Halo 2 is not going to run on your Toshiba. You have the integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics card which cannot play modern games well or at all.

dunno why it wouldn't work, Halo 2 don't look any better than Halo 1. Halo 1 ran great on my Geforce 4 Ti 4200

Re: Halo 2 on Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267
Well, I have a Ti 4200 (seems to be a very popular card) and it has 64mb, and also has a 128mb version. The GMA is only 32mb. OP, if you're a programmer, you could probably make a mod or something like OldBlivion, only OldHalo2.

Unless you want to get banned from LIVE I would refrain anyone from doing that.

Re: Halo 2 on Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267
Well doesn't the GMA 950 automatically borrow RAM depending on what its doing? So in theory shouldn't it borrow 128 if the game requires 128?

That is the impression I have been given by some people I have talked to. How this is done, nobody has been able to say.
