If you can find out what ( if any ) graphic card it has you can try the manufactures web site for updated drivers .... i'e Nvidia or ATI . All depends on the laptop if its an integrated card or like mine PCI express and changeable .

ive currently been tring to get THE SABOTEUR to start up on my ati graphics card to no avail. taken it back now as there is no fix/patch at present- swapped for a ps3 copy- excellent game so far..... :y

You may struggle with this I am afraid. MW is very graphics heavy, unless you have an expensive gaming laptop it may not work for you, sorry.
Check the minimum spec for the game on the side of the box and compare it to the spec of your laptop.

Unfortunately, it looks like your laptops video card can't handle the data stream required to play this game :(

any laptop is going to stuggle with COD4 MW, infact it will struggle with COD3, most laptops share main ram for use on the graphics card, even if its got dedicated memory its going to need at least 512 to even have a hope in hell of running it.
Might be worth posting your laptop model, so we can check its tech specs :y

There should be some numbers after L300D, that gives us the final spec. Its like saying i have a Vx Omega, there are loads of different versions of that model.
Quick search suggests its something like this:

Similar spec to what you mention, bad news is for graphics its uses intel GMA 4500MHD (which is a shared motherboard type) also refered to as 'integrated'
Sorry but its not going to have a hope in hell in running any computer games, its going to struggle to do Solitaire!
I used to be a big PC gamer, but the constant need to buy the latest and greatest graphics cards, for my PC got annoying, and expensive!
If you want games, get yourself a PS3 of Xbox360, just pop them in, and they always work, no setup required :y

You should try this site to test your P.C for gaming and your see if you can play it ..
Can your computer run that game :question
