I've got an ATI Radion Graphics Card on my Vista computer, I am also having crashes.
I'd call Disney's Tech Support and see if you need a better graphics card, OR you can look at the minimium requirements to play page. Also, try running your game quality/game graphics on LOW. Not medium nor high, LOW.

Also, when did you get your computer? Just wondering, that can determine whether your graphics card is OLDER or OLD.
Good luck.

You buy a new card at BestBuy or CircuitCity or anywhere they sell them.
You cant download one off line, pssh.

I know that...and I can't just buy one...I have a laptop. I meant to update the thing...like the software.

If you want to see your graphics card right click my computer, click properties (or hold windows key, and press pause/break), click hardware, click device manager, under display adapters category, your video card will list there.


But I looked up this issue and a lot of people are having the same problem. Some guy even got through to the live chat and they said it was a problem with the GAME not the computer.

I'll just have to wait it out until they fix it -_-


Got the computer two years ago btw.

I dont use ATI because I prefer nvidia but even if gateway provides drivers it would be unlikely that you could not just install the latest ATI drivers.

your graphics card is not too bad and should be able to support potc but there is a good chance that the memory in the laptop may struggle.


also try installing the latest version of DIRECTX 9.0c which is obtained direct from microsoft.
