right i have a game called tomb raider you might know... well i have a laptop with a pentium 4 2666.5mhz cpu with 750mb of ram or there about, 6gb free space, running windows xp with intel 64mb graphics

the game requires the following...:
pentium 60(min)/90(rec) 150mhz cpu

8 mb of ram

20 mb free hdd space

svga/vesa graphics that support 256 colours i dont actually know what mb it is but it will run on my win98 hunk of junk with a 4mb graphics (thats what it says in CMOS)
also needs directx5 that installs if you dont have it

so how can i send screenshots of the mess that appears when the game starts?

and anyway how is that possible?

If you want to take a screen shot just hit the print screen button. Usually found at the end of the function keys (F1/F2/F3 etc)

Then open up MS paint and just paste it in by pressing Ctrl+v, then upload it to an image hosting site like imageshack.us or something.

Without knowing the extent of the problems you're having with it I can't really help, but given that it came out in 1996 I'd suggest trying to change the compatibility mode. Right-click on the launch icon, go to Properties then Compatibility then make sure there is a tick in the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" then in the drop down box try Windows 95.

It might not work but worth a shot...
