Right. You sort out that mess and I may be able to help you. For now, I'm avoiding even trying to read what you're saying.

Just helping our new friend here.

Coloured blocks. That's artefacting already. Definitely a graphic card problem. You see, when games state that they need 128MB Graphic Card, integrated Intel chips are not included. Yes, it has 128MB of RAM for the graphic card, but developers actually mean 128MB on a stand-alone card. GMA doesn't have T&L, and no shader's. It's just a bare minimum to show stuff on your monitor. I suggest you get a separate graphic card. Quite cheap nowadays.

Any suggestion for Laptop external graphic card?
Thanks.

thanx for reply but nfs underground 2 requirements are very low and it runs fine on my friends computer who has just 1.1ghz celeron ,256 mb ram & no graphics card...

[ArmedandDangerous]

Underground 2 low requirements? You gotta be kidding. It needs at least Shader Model 1.1 which Intel GMA doesn't have...

i dont know that much details but intel site says it should run fine on 915 chipset...

[ArmedandDangerous]

Chipset just means what platform the CPU is running on, not the graphics card =)
