PWI (and other PWE games) crashing video drivers.

Ok, I've just got a new laptop, it has a decent graphics card, ATI Mobile Radeon HD 4250. However, randomly when playing PWI, the graphics driver will crash. I've updated all my graphic drivers and DirectX to the latest versions... I don't get it lol.

Here's my dxdiag: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19573297/DxDiag.txt

I suppose it's not a "huge" deal, but I'm worried of prolonged damage to my computer seeing as it's brand new.

Thanks.

    The game's engine does not get along very well with modern hardware. That is all.

    It happened to me on my old Toshiba too
    It would randomly have a graphics fail then recover and continue on it's way.
    Just annoying when the screen goes black.
    Though, I haven't had it occur with my new Asus.

    (both my computers are laptops)

    Yeah, I know. Was just hoping something could be done. (Wishful thinking, eh?)

    You're not the only one. I dream of seeing a new engine, perhaps a little too much. Seeing as the game is developed in AND for a country that mostly runs on pirated XP computers with IE6, we may never see such thing come true.
