I am unsure how to find out what patches I need or where to obtain the patches. I have had it suggested that I need to make sure that a game I am trying to play, windows and graphics are fully patched for the game to work properly. The game is M.U.D T.V. It seems to install correctly, when trying to play the titles begin with animations etc then switches off back to the desktop. Please help!
It has also been suggested that it [the game] will not work with the Intels onboard graphics processor... What to do here ? I have a Hp laptop with Windows 7 64-Bit os and Intel i5 CORE inside.
Advice will be greatly appreciated. :)

Did you check the game's website?

Chances are that you're trying to play a game that is too much for your onboard graphics but since we don't know the full details of your laptop, it's tough to say..

There are some links to try here on Steam
