So, it's been the second time my laptop got repaired, and it's in much better condition now. The first time it was repaired Spiral Knights worked absolutely perfect. But now, Spiral Knights crashes almost instantly. It usually stays open for about 5 seconds or less then closes. I've seen the same thing happen on my sister's computer (she has Windows 8, and I've heard all about the Windows 8 issue already). I have Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I've tried updating from Intel's site, but the results were awful. My screen turned black (I expected this to happen, but it wouldn't come back after a long time), and when I rebooted my max screen resolution shrunk, and program window's got messed up. I did a system restore and everything was back to normal. I've also tried some steps on the wiki, but that didn't seem to work. I also reinstalled Spiral Knights, but all that did was help it survive a few more seconds. What do I do now? How do I fix this? Do I need a new graphics card? What do I need?
