I Tried but its saying the video drivers are already up to date. Is there any other way of fixing it?

Oops, should have realized it was a laptop driver. Still version 186 is a bad driver for this game.

So you try downloading this driver from nVidia and try to install it or are you simply using Windows Update (or whatever Win 7 has)?

windows 7 is worst in loading. heavy amount of extra waiting then I normal get with Windows XP. I am not a fan of Windows 7. heck my first computer that had Windows 7 64 bit did not work. also the computer did not work. fresh out of the box. I had no service.
Toshiba taken it in for service and made the choice not do to do do the job. I lost well over 500.00 on that net book. is simply too far. Freeze issues and what not,. every little thing the computer locks up. nothing working. opening a folder and it jams up.
cannot use internet explore. Locks up when I click on that I-con.
64 bit blocks out all 32 bit software. i do not know why all these people cannot correct it?
Its to the point I cannot buy a computer any more.
the best way to get out self out of this problems is not to pay for one.
please do not trust Windows 7. I do not like it as a fan
when brand new computers are broken?

Incorrect. Running Win7 x64 here, running primarily 32 bit software. The only issue I've had as far as "bit-ness" is Internet Explorer x64, since there's no 32 bit version of Flash - but since I use firefox anyway, it's not an issue.

Sounds overall like you had a bad computer. (And really.... a netbook? I hope you weren't trying to game on that thing.) If they tried forcing through features that should've been disabled on a specific level of hardware, well...
