Yes, I RP and play Redside on Virtue - No, Rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated

Do you suck at COH/COV? not yet...
Which one did you get, the green, pink or orange one?
This... abomination, sorry... is a hybrid system with two complete video card systems, the Intel one for the 2D/low 3D stuff, and then it *automatically* switches to the Radeon 6330M for higher end 3D stuff, like Co*.
Only in this case, I'm thinking it didn't. OR, if it did, the drivers are bunk. You should go to your Sony site (this doesn't show up, near as I can tell, on US radars, but Oceana and Asia areas) and get the latest possible. It is *very* likely that with that goofy system, NO REFERENCE DRIVERS WILL WORK.
Found a similar, but wrong part number, laptop in Canada. The latest that Sony shows for the ATI driver is 8.811.1.4, whereas you have a slightly lower version.
In any case, this is a *really* special laptop. So special, I'd be thinking about ditching it. Too fancy for reliablity, you ask me.
Whatever happens, I sincerely wish you good luck with that... thing.
/Dual cards, sure, but *auto switching ones* are... man, that's just *weird*.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.

Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Ok, since this post doesn't really have anything constructive to add to the issue, I will go away now.

There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

Glad you fixed the problem! Although, I'm saddened you hadda take it down a notch...

I didn't even know they had electronic computers back in the year 1.

So I've logged on today to notice that many of the costume pieces wont ..uh load i guess into my game.

it's like this on all my current characters and if I go into the creator to make a new one there are so many costume pieces like this.
What's up with it? and how do i fix it
