  The question really doesn't belong in this forum.  The purpose of this forum is to discuss advanced graphics related algorithms, effects, implementation issues, or just purely theoretical ideas. (That's from the FAQ)That being said, I suspect the problem is that your laptop doesn't have the right hardware.  According to the game's minimum requirements, you must have one of these graphics cards:ATI Radeon 7500, 8500, 9xxx/Pro series, and x800 series.NVIDIA GeForce 2 (MX, GTS), 3 (Ti), 4 (MX, Ti), FX series, and 6800.Intel i865g, and i915g.S3 GammaChrome S18 Pro.If you don't have one of those, don't expect to play it.  If you do have one of those, look through EA's support site for FIFA 2006.   ;  Moved to the lounge.   ;  GameDev is not a tech support board.
