Has Anyone Got Links to Run on Newer Laptops?
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 6:59 am
I just bought a Lenovo Y700 laptop. It has both onboard Intel Graphics and an AMD Radeon R9-M275X graphics card. I know most laptops will not use the descrete graphics card (My wifes Gateway Phenom laptop does). But was hoping that I could at least run Links with the Intel Graphics. But when I start Links I get to the menu then get the popup saying "Links 2003 has stopped working" and the only option is to close the porgram. A 2nd start will at least get me to the Graphics setting in Links. I did find that if I set links to play in a window it does get a bit further, but have yet to finish a round. Now here is the kicker. I have a USB 3.0 Toshiba docking station and if I connect the laptop, the docking station take over the graphic and I can play a round, but only if its docked. Also the graphic used in Links when docked is "3d Acceleration by DisplayLink USB Devise" Any guidance wuold be greatly appriciated on playing Links undocked, as if I can't get Links to run undocked I might as well send the laptop back.
