It may be the 32mb graphics card. It seems like I saw some people on another madden board with problems with a 32mb card. If possible update the video drivers, as that is always the problem with PC games. I've yet to find a consistent set that will let me play HH and Counter Strike without one or the other messing up for my nvidia card or my ati card

You can't get drivers for mobile radeons from ATI. You have to get them from your laptop manufacturer. In your case, this would be Sony.
