Hi,

I currently have a sony vaio laptop with a Nvidia Geforce Go 6200 graphics
card. When I upgraded to Vista I began having problems playing games, many
told me that I only have 32 mb of dedicated memory to my graphics card.
However, initially in XP the video card had 128 mb of dedicated memory. Is
this simply a driver issue? If so what driver might I be able to installed
that would fix this issue? Or is there a simpler solution to the problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
hi bill it sounds like you dont have enough memory on your grapics
card,.you might need another card but first..what kind of vista OS you have?
 
Dingo,

I am currently running Vista Business. The graphics card should have 128 mb
of dedicated memory, at least it did when I was running XP pro. Thanks for
the help.
 
well ive had a problem like that now,i cant play halo on my pc with vista
premium and i have a nvida geforce 3200 with 256mb,i think like my self we
need more memory to run vista and games on it to.
 
on my desktop when I run a game on xp I can run all setting on high. On
Vista that same game will run on medium or low settings. Same computer, just
setup a separate drive for Vista. So I am guessing that Vista uses memory
from the video card to run in the background and you now have less for
gaming.
The game I was using is Quake 4, btw I have a 128 meg nvidia card 6800gt.
 
well thats it,now just need to find a way to let vista have only a small
part of your video card rather than allmost all of the card?!,dose anyone
know to do this?? please reply. "BigJim"
