I tried to update my drivers and it didnt work 🙁 plzz help!

1. games like this need powerful chipsets. some basic laptops have powerful chipsets the features of the chipsets are TURNED DOWN OR OFF as part of power saving or by default see your video display driver settings you need to adjust your video card drivers to enable OPENGL which is used for DRAWING functions. this is because this is the way the game DRAWS the screen shots. this is usually on by default the print out also gives you a clue how its doing this you need JAVA installed on your laptop

   it must be onthe other one and not yours
