Unless your screen can handle then it maybe ok but like the saying goes there is no harm in trying.

Should work with MTW unless your screen is too slow (I don't think so) I don't know rtw that well but may work, too.

One word of warning about using a laptop... the graphics in MTW, especially battles, really drain the battery on my D800. Don't expect to play for more than an hour or so per battery.

By the way, check your resolution setting/aspect ratio. If it's not standard CRT dimensions, that might be causing you trouble.

I have both installed on my Dell lap top. The battery doesn't last so I plug in before playing.

ok well i know on my toshiba satellite, i could only play historical battles and just plain me vs the computer battles,, the campaign would always crash to my desktop and rtw wouldnt even install,,, so i gave up on that one, i messed with the settings too, to no avail, ,, this new laptop i won in a contest and its really nice,, what should i look for when you guys say that my screen has to be the right speed? oh and i only intend to play it while its plugged in , not even gunna try with the battery.

Hey man.... I have a Dell laptop(Inspiron 5150) but I haven't installed them because I don't have a mouse....But you're free to try because I doesn't do any harm!!!

[Sir William Wallace]

well i did it and it works great, i am playing without a mouse actually,, however its pretty hard to set formations before the battle, so i just leave that be.. but anyway its working good, just a little on the slow side when loading is all,, good things come to he who waits
