Laptop graphics card?

Hi, i try to run a game on my laptop and it says "the program has encountered an error and needs to close" and i think it could be because my graphics card isnt good enough, how can i check how much memory my graphics card has? Does a laptop even have a graphics card? Is it possible to upgrade it?

laptop graphics tends to be integrated. check (the back usually) to see if there are VGA sockets and if there are is there a ditch to the side to take it out?

If no to either its not upgradeable. Mine isnt : (

it is a medion mim2220, and what does a VGA socket look like?

the graphics on the Medion MIM2220 is onboard Intel, its not upgradeable, although i have heard that someone is currently producing an external graphics card, designed specificly for laptops.

sorry mate, for now it cant be done : D

Would it definetly be the graphics card thats causing the error "the program has encountered an error and needs to close"?

Well not definatly but i agree with you that its the most likely. It could be an almost infinite amount of things, each with a smaller chnce than the last but unfortunatley theyre all possible : (

Well whats the most likely ones other than the graphics card?

I just had a look at one of my other games that plays fine and that requires 32mb graphics card and so does the game that wont play. So whats going on?
