    Spore freezing

    Hi. I've noticed that a lot of people have had the same problem as me.

    - the game freezes whenever the instruction pops-up and you can't do anything until you go Ctrl_Alt_Del and it goes
    until the next pop-up;

    - the game freezes during the Spore creator when selection of the parts is supposed to occur;

    - the in-game videoes freeze and/or take forever to load;

    - Then game then freezes up for good at the end of the Cell stage, about to go into the Creature stage - the Ctrl_Alt_del doesn't help then - you have to shut down the game.

    I noticed that advice to other people is to update their graphic drivers, but I don't know where or how to do that. I also don't know what graphic driver to download, if that would be the solution to my problem. I will attach the dxdiag. Please help! Thank you in advance!

    You can try by going to your laptop manufacturer's website and doing a search on there by it's model number.
    Just make sure you uninstall the old graphics driver first before you install the new one.
