Will it work ?

[Buddha1584]

Hi,
I need to get a simulator and really liked the look of the Phoenix, tried to download the demo on to my Laptop and all that happened was that it would freeze up on the start up screen. A friend thinks the lappy should just about have what it needs to run it, do they work ok on laptops ?

Cheers for any advice
Chris.

right my laptop it is so rubbish it is unbelieveable
the demo did not work on it it just
frooze
so i went a bought the sim anyway installed it and to my supprisse it worked
my mate off here stewart his username is downloaded the demo and it did not work so his mate took his sim round installed it and it worked perfect i think it may just be the demo
my downstairs pc is a hell of a lot higher spec than my lappy and it does not run at all on that
so to answer your question it will work !

Yes it does work on laptops I run it on two laptops and one notebook for when I out. lol.

As above what specs are the laptop. my lowest laptop has 384mb (64 mb is for graphics) with a 2.8 celeron in it with a 9000ign radeon. Hhhm must get some more coal for it. It is a compaq r3000 about 5 years old I think.

It runs phoenix smooth enough at the lowest settings

The demo should work without a dongle.

My guess is your problem is linked to insufficient graphics capability in the laptop. So, if your laptop won't run the demo then it won't run the full version either.


Could be an expensive day...

Seems similar to mine works fine on my Laptop, its a 3yr old HP standard as it came - and is fine with the latest version of Phoenix...

Took a trip down up to Skyline Models to 'ave a loook at the sim, they loaded the latest 2.5 version but it was a bit jumpy so they tried an earlier version 2.0 and it seemed to run a bit better. So i've got meself a sim at last, now i need a decent lappy.

Thanks for all your replies,
Chris.
