    One food for thought. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/65...-graphics-indi

    AMD has no graphics drivers for it so check Fujitsu.
    Check fujitsu and Intel for update drivers, all of them.

    Otherwise it looks like what one of the posters in the artical I linked, the game getting caught between graphics chips and you lose.

    when was the last time you popped the case opened and cleaned out the dustbunnies? Maybe heat related, then.

    You won't get a new card for the LifeBook. you'll end up buying a new computer.

    Mods can conflict with each other. Best install and test them one at a time.

    The dearth of Steam.

    Two things that other members have posted that helped them,

    1. Try to update the BIOS.

    2. Run Windows Update manually and install all software options.

    Check Fujitsu's website for a BIOS update.

    As far as I know, the game is dx9. No changing it.

    Scripts folder = http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic...mpire-Napoleon and in it is the preferences_script.txt.

    Use Notepad to edit it.
