yeah in the post above they said minimum was geforce 7950 and your above that.
Actually a 8400 GS is below a 7950. You just need to understand how Nvidia names things. x600 is the start of their gaming cards ie 7600 or 8600. The 7950 was their high end cards. And GS is the lowest grade card. GS, GT, GTS, GTX. I always get GTS and GT miss up. Nvidia keeps changing them
A course I keot IE8 update. I just can't figure out why they can't launch. I had them download install the client again. Update drivers, reinstall IE8 and defrag. The only thing left is to re-install the OS.

Chrome myself... Check lan settings in IE though... Tools > options > connections > lan settings, try unchecking automatically detect (check it again if it doesn't help, sometimes things break) Also make sure there's no proxy set if there shouldn't be one
how do I check to see if I got min regs on my laptop.
I'm running windows vista, and everything seems to check out good on the game except I can't do anythin beyond character creation. So maybe my graphics card needs to be upgraded but I don't know how to check for it. any help would be appreciated.

Some of the 17 inchers actually have an onboard mini pci-e, but it's real specific as to what you can put in it... we can upgrade our laptop from a mobility x1400 to a mobility x1600, but not much above that. Plus it would cost like $250.
thanks, I found out from the tests that my CPU and my video card need to be upgraded. don't know how I'm gonna do that but it does tell me that I need to cancel my pre-order now before gamestop charges me for it. I also should bookmark the 2nd site you gave me for future reference.
I have had the 8800 and now 4870x2. They can get huge hence why I went for a super sized case so there is plenty of space. With an accelero cooler ontop of my 4870x2 it takes up so much space it hides one of my pci-e slots! Still it keeps it lovely and cool.

well those benchmarks tests telling me it is impossible that my machine will run it at all - but it works quite well only three things are extreamly laggy - fleet actions with a quadrilupe of enemy ships, the ground tutorial near kelly at open beta start, and pvp battles with alot of players laying mines like mad. everything else is playable.
my system
P- IV @ 2.8gHz (singel core)
2 gigs ddr2
with a geforce 7600GT
so way below the recomended settings ...
hows this for spec wise? Desktop with AMD Phenom II X4 805 quad-core processor with true multicore processing, Direct Connect Architecture, 8GB DDR2 memory and 1TB hard drive
Desktop also features a double-layer DVD±RW/CD-RW drive, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, analog/digital TV tuner, built-in device holder, multi-in-one media reader and Windows 7 Home Premium.
i figured id pop in like a 260 geforce after that, think would run most games up to date pretty good?

Kick @ss system.
You ready don't need RAID. The game maps will load a lot quicker, 1-3 seconds where for me 10-18 seconds. Once it's load the CPU, GPU and RAM takes over. But if you got the money go for it.
EDIT: But if you do video edit that RAID will give you a huge performance boost.

well its my 1st gaming pc an id like to just go all out i have 1500$ an it just hits the 1300$ marker with all those specs so i figure what the hell may as well get a nice one for my 1st gaming pc if im gona get one.
i just wanted to throw it out there that the minimum spec'd graphics card may be overstated.
i'm ruinning an Athlon X2 4850E w/ 2 Gb system RAM of which 512mb are shared with integrated Geforce 8200 graphics and I'm having a good time playing w/ basically the default graphics settings. no eye candy, but I'm playing without buying a new card or increasing my power usage.

If you're happy go for it. This system will handle any DX10 game for the next 4 years or more. We as gamers tend to upgrade our GPUs every time we feel the need to so. When Nvidia new DX11 cards start coming out in March and if you have a game that support DX11 and the graphics are really, really good you may wish upgrade your GPU then. But those games will plays on a DX10 card just fine. It just any special DX11 features DX10 cards wont be able to process. That being said STO is only a DX9 game.

It will play but at low resolution and settings. Read the last 8 pages for setting info.
7950 > 8400
7950 is probably between a 8600GTS and a 8800GT

Just keep mashing enter every time it pops you back, you'll get through eventually
May help to alt+enter to windowed mode and then maximize, that way you can alt tab out to yak on forums without minimizing

Should be interesting... Edit your <star trek install folder>/star trek online/live/localdata/gameprefs.pref in notepad ( WITH GAME CLOSED!!)
Look for something like:
PrefEntry GfxSettings.ScreenHeight 1080
PrefEntry GfxSettings.ScreenWidth 1920
Change those to what you should have... the height should be the smaller number.

You can't upgrade a laptop GPU. What do you have?
