Is it normal, that the red triangles (where you can put ship components on the hull) are extremely large for the tiny, small and cargo hulls?

UPDATE: When I play on battery power, both Dread Lords and Dark Avatar work fine. Yay! Thanks for the idea, I'd never have thought of that. Now I just have to figure out how to make it run with the adapter..
[quote] Clicking the Install button will download it. If you have an archive, try right clicking it and choosing Restore Archive instead. [/quote] Gee, I could have thought of that. Many thanks
Hm, I'll try running it on battery power, when I get back from University. How can I check whether the chipset is faulty?
The thing with the installation is, when I click on the install button in SD Central, it wants to download the folders from the internet. But I already have them archived and I cannot direct SD Central to use the archived folders for installation. ----- I reformatted my HD a month ago or so. It all started with Caesar IV and Shivering Isles, the Oblviion expansion. After I had bought Shivering Isles and installed it, the blues screens started to appear every two minutes or so.
Start Satrdock Central -Click on 'Games' -In that window click on 'Purchased Software' -Under 'Galactic Civilizations' there should be a few folders (tutorial, multimedia etc) and beneath these folders, there should be an icon called 'Dark Avatar' -Click on that icon and the button to the right should say 'Install' -Click on that button and it'll install all by itself
[quote] "Quite frankly, I do not know what might cause this at every pc game I play." If it with every PC game you play (as vs. only GalCiv), then it might be an overheating issue. Try playing on battery power only, as the CPU is usually throttled down - and so, less heat is generated. I have run across this before, that the laptop operates well under battery power but crashes under AC power - simply because the CPU is generating more heat
[quote] Emm, you didn't install IBM's drivers for your video card right, i mean you went to ATi's website and used their latest version? If you didn't, you need to chuck those IBM drivers and grab the ones from ATi, and make sure you've updated DirectX as well. [/quote] It's the same driver.
[quote] Especially video and sound are often different to the ones for normal desktop computers - or you could check for some advanced power management options that are different now. [/quote] I've always installed the drivers from the manufacturer's site. There are all the drivers for my machine model. And so far I've never had any problems whatsoever with them.
Thanks for your reply! I've tried several drivers (older ones and the latest). I get this issue on every single one of them... Quite frankly, I do not know what might cause this at every pc game I play.
Whenever I start a (new) game, GalCiv II immediately crashes with a BSOD (which has no text on it). I updated my graphics driver to the latest version and have the latest build of DA.
