Installation Problems on Laptop

[Memphisdoug]

I recently purchased my first laptop. It has a Pentium M 1.6 processor and 750 mb of RAM. When I attempt to load WoW, it says my processor does not meet minimum requirements. According to the requirements on the box, I should more than meet the requirements. What is up with this message? Thanks for any help.

Hmm, check your powersaving functions and turn it to "ALWAYS ON" or "PRESENTATION MODE"... I'm sorry, I can't really remember the exact names of the profiles..

This should make your laptop run at peak capacity and then should load WoW....

When a laptop is on 'power saving', they can cycle the cpu and dim the monitor in order to conserve battery power... this might - MIGHT- be your issue.
