I picked up a new laptop last night (Toshiba Satellite P105-S6177), and everything is fine EXCEPT for issues with the graphics chipset (Intel 945GM).

This is basically my new gaming laptop, and I installed Vanguard on it but it doesn't run.

After hours of troubleshooting and researching the error I received, the issue comes down to the chipset apparently not have a vertex shading value of 2.0.

Intel.com says that the vertex shading for this chipset can go from 1.0 to 3.0, but it is basically set at 3.0.

Is there a way to change this value?

This laptop came with Windows Vista, and I am still learning my way around it. I have yet to find anything that will allow me to change this, and there is no software on the machine that is a "control panel" for graphics beyond changing brightness, color correction, resolution, etc.

Any ideas?

I am very tempted to take this back and eat the 15% restock fee.
