I have a Dell latitude that is causing me headaches. I wanted to supplement a game to play on my laptop while I was in the airport recently. The Game is Diable and I keep getting the screen of Death when I think certain DirectDraw or Direct3d games are accessed. I have to be honest I haven't tried glide but some newer games only support direct3d so I would like to resonlve the issue. I did notice when I reduce the screen resolution before playing I get to play longer before the game blows.

I have a newer latitude with an Nvidia chip, I have done a lot of updating before posting this:

New Video drivers for the Nvidia
New Video Bios
New Motherboard chipset
New machine Bios
All windows updates, including DirectX9
etc...

SO I am wondeing if there are any other dell users out there with similar problems. The issue is not just related to Diablo, I loaded up HL and tried that. As soon as I turn on 3d Exeleration.. BAM. I may be leaning toward buying new memory? Bad Nvidia chip? Before I spend a few hours on the phone with Dell I thought I would pole you all for any tweaks. OH I almost forgot, I can play Age of Empires just fine?? But it's a very new game compared to the others.....

Thanks in advance.
