"Failed to recognize Hardware TnL."Follow

I am currently having a problem with my Laptop a IBM Thinkpad and I know alot of people on here are computer literate. I go home on leave at the end of the week and I was wondering if anyone knows how to get this problem to work. I went to IBM.COM even to Intel.com the people who made the drivers for my damn display and I did everything they say and I still cannot fix this damn thing on my laptop (I am doing this so I dont have to lug my Desktop over 700+ miles) I have a Intel® 82852/82855 Graphics Controller Family in my laptop and the damn thing still aint workin.
but here is what Playonline said about this:

If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it, so far SE, IBM and Intel have not been able to help me. Thanx!

Hey thats all I wanted to know! Thanks for replying!!! That just means I gotta go out and BUY another laptop rofl

if you can afford it.. the Alienware laptops come with mobility radeon 9600 video processors in certain models...

if you *REALLY* want to dump some jink, go to falcon northwest.. highest priced gaming laptops on the market... but it will re-define your perception of computing speed.. the higher end models even have upgradeable video modules.. O_O however, for this kind of speed and versitility... you WILL pay for it.

edit: also.. on the more price sane end of the spectrum, Dell has a few "gaming" laptops.. an alienware or Falcon will utterly trounce anything dell has to offer.. but you won't pay 3grand or more for a Dell gamer able to run FFXI.
