Keep the scenery at default levels, or maybe a little lower, and you
probably can still have some fun at a reduced FPS - but you'll be missing
the really great sights and effects...

Depends on what sort of video hardware you have. With a decent 3D
accelerator, and as long as you don't expect to run toward the high end of
the graphics settings, you should be fine. I run FS2002 on my
700Mhz/GeForce2 laptop, and with "medium" range settings, it's just fine.

We need more information really.

What graphics chipset is in your laptop ?

Some laptop machines don't have very good graphics cards, as far as 3D acceleration is concerned.

You can find this out by going into Start - Settings - Control Panel - Display - Settings. This will show which kind of monitor
(probably "Standard LCD Display") and which graphics card it is on (e.g. "Trident", or "nVidia GeForce Go", or "ATi Radeon").

Let us know what's there.

Cheers
Graeme
