The game boots up fine, but when i go to start the campaign, or any game i get a blue screen (that is never up long enough to read) that states that the computer had a fatal error and will have to reboot, memory dump, etc.
below is the debug txt, and yes i know my video driver is from 2003, but i have a laptop, a sony laptop, so there is naught i can do about that (although if anyone knows of some way that i can get a newer driver for a Radeion Mobility 9200 i'd be glad to hear it since ATI says to go to sony and, well, when was the last time sony had "after sale service)
