Hi jdidds,
I am not sure what is the model of ur lappy.
Only thing i know is its a lappy.
Okie, check this page out:
AMD Drivers and Support Page
And try to download the original drivers, according to your OS version, and chipset.
One more thing, i have noticed that you mentioned you are running WinXP SP2.
I HIGHLY recommend you update to SP3, if urs is not original or for some reason unable to do windows update properly, download this SP manually:
Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers
But if u are able to do windows update, do that instead. Its only ~60MB via windows update whilst this download is more for system admins like myself where i have to deploy to some 40 50 computers at least and do not wish to clog up bandwidth.
After downloading that, installing that, u will need to do one more full windows update to well.... update ALL the patches available since that patch..... Ok?
Alongside, you might want to well..... do all these, AND update your Raedon drivers.

If you check with Microsoft's Software Compatibility web page, you'll find that BTS is indeed certified to work with Vista 64 bit. Both BTS and Vanilla work flawlessly on my machine.
You have to run the game in Admin mode, and you need SP1 and current drivers for your hardware. You also need to remember that Vista installs the game in a different place than XP. If a mod has an installer that doesn't check the registry for the install location, it won't go in properly (My only complaint.) Other than that, it runs exactly like XP, but much faster.
There are a couple of mods that make it act up though.

Mattn:
you are using an old binary with new data files - you should a) compile the binary or b) use one of the available unofficial installers

mmmm thanks for the answer mattn but... do you think you could tell me where can i find how to compile binaries or download unoficial installers?
