Hi Eddy Gonzalez,  
  
Most "other applications" will not generate the high quantity of heat  
  
that DirectX based games such as AOK will generate.  :-)

I've been playing AOK for years and never had any technical problems, apart  
  
from the odd lack of connection etc, but recently I bought a mega powerful  
  
desktop repacement laptop, and whenever I start the game, after a while the  
  
display goes funny, kind of over saturated and as if I only have 16 colours  
  
displaying. This only happens whilst playing AOK and only on this laptop.  
  
Does anyone know what this could be? Drivers incompatibility with my nVidia  
  
card or laptop?  
  
Cheers  
  
Eddy

Just read a post from a person who was having similar problems and the reply  
  
was that it could be drivers or overheating, well I've checked the drivers  
  
and they are bang up to date so it could be overheating. Since the laptop is  
  
a desktop replacement with dual core AMD FX64 and 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go  
  
7900 GTX graphics it runs quite hot but I don't seem to be getting those  
  
problems on any other application?

Cheers Greg, I'll try this and see if it works, hopefully it will as I don't  
  
know what I can do to cool down my machine other than stick ice cubes  
  
underneath it!

Hi Eddy Gonzalez,  
  
They do sell laptop cooling pads at local electronic shops.  :-)

Yes true although I've not managed to find one for a 17inch laptop. Anyway  
  
changing the startup to 256 colours has sorted it out, cheers!

Hi Eddy Gonzalez,  
  
That's a perfect workaround!  :-)
