Hi guys, I don't know if this problem has been posted before but i'm new here and i DID try and look for it but i couldn't find anything about it. Basically I just got the game and installed everything but it really is not working good. Questviewer takes forever to launch and sometimes the game doesn't happen at all it just stays at a black screen. I can't even change the graphics settings because all i can see is the menu on the left hand side of the screen and everything else is in black. ALso the screen flashes blue alot. I managed to get into the game once but once again, couldn't make heads or tails of it. I'm running windows 7 32 bit on an hp g60 laptop but i usually play alot of other games and they work perfectly. Any help?

SSE is very demanding upon our poor hardware.

From the quick Google search I did, an HP G60 comes nowhere close to meeting the NVidia 8800GT minimum requirement.  Early models had an NVidia 8200 in them, and later models like the G60-630 went to Intel Integrated graphics.  Many MMOs do not require 3D acceleration so your ability to play those doesn't really factor in here.  Do post your DXDiag report but I am guessing the machine isn't beefy enough for SSE.
