Hey I am wondering if anybody can help me. I have moved country so no longer have my big rig I played dota 2 on, now I have my older laptop. It crashes once the dota 2 load screen starts (the badge logo).
I am on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 (PSAGE9E).
Windows XP Business Version.
Intel Mobile Core Duo T5870
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset
I think its your driver problem with the integrated graphics. I had the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for my graphics (i have the same chipsert but a dell latitude e4300). You should be able to find them on the toshiba website.
Ok I have tried that, interestingly the latest intel drivers are different to the latest toshiba drivers (IIRC the Toshiba ones are newer) - but perhaps dota2 is designed to support only the intel ones?
It gives me hope that you can run dota2 on this graphics card, I know it's not great - but hopefully I can find a fix then?!
I found mine off the dell support website. If you aren't sure where it is (my guess is the toshiba website) go to the intel forums and just post a question as to where the drivers for your model are. Your question should be answered in a day or 2. I'm not sure how smooth it will run though as the processor is only 2Ghz and integrated graphics uses processing power opposed to a graphics card being its own. When searching, make sure to have the exact model of your laptop. http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/INTEL/Toshiba-Satellite-Pro-A300-Intel-Display-Driver-614104953-for-XP.shtml
This was a site I found but I'm not sure if it is safe or not. Your problem is definatly fixable though.
Try to contact the toshiba support.
Apologies I am actually on windows vista business version not XP. I have installed the latest drivers but still not working :(
You're better off backing up the needed items on the computer, and just find a reliable ripped version of Windows 7, a lot of games have issues with Vista and making the conversion will better you computer experience overall.
