I've been told by quite a few people that you can run MW on a Dell Mini 10.

I've got it all downloaded and installed, and when i run it it will play for a minute, then close, saying it has encountered an error.

Ya know the window that wants you to send an erroe report.

My question is, what could be the problem? If others have done it, then why is it only crashing mine?

Post a dxdiag report, please. If you have the Crystal HD Broadcom video accelerator installed you may have to disable the co-processor.

I'm not too computer avy. If you'd kindly tell me how to do it, I'll get one right up here for ya.

Also, during the initialization, while it's loading Blood Moon, it gives me these messages:

Chunk size 10 too big in chunk WEAT_ID in form REGN_ID. Max size is 8, data truncated to "".

Region 'Felsaad Coast Region' Weather Chances do not total 100 percent.

After each message, is asks if I want to keep running executable.

I've had the same bug. It means you have installed Tribunal and Bloodmoon in the wrong order. You should install Morrowind and expansions in this order:
1. install Vanilla Morrowind (obviously)
2. install Tribunal
3. install Bloodmoon

If assume you have Tribunal. It is the only way I ever got this bug.

I also heard you can just reinstall Bloodmoon without unistalling Morrowind completely. But I have never done this myself.

Yea I got it running now, but it's really slow. unplayably slow.

Any suggestions?

I checked the specifications for you laptop and I belief they should be sufficient to run Morrowind. You also pointed this out in your first post.

I advice to turn all graphic settings to low and make sure you have connected your laptop to a power supply (sometimes it doesn't run at full speed otherwise).
I am also wondering if you have installed any mods. I'm pretty sure the Morrowind Graphic Extender will make Morrowind run slower if you have certain settings turned on.

If you want better performance (at a great expense to battery life and cooling) go to the windows power options and in advanced setting set your CPU and Processor to full, many netbooks have it lowered, even when connected to the power *shrugs*

Also it would do you some good to poke around your video card driver settings just to see whats going on there, you may be able to boost its performance a bit (again at the expense of power and heat)

Also changing your theme to windows classic will release some much needed system resources.

I've tried turning to graphics to low, but I can't seem to find where to do that. I've checked the options tab of the startup window, and the in game menu.

All I can find is the resolution, and pixel shading, which is off now.

I've looked at my drivers too, and tried to update them, but can't do that either. I'll look at some of your other suggestions, and try those.

When I go into Power options, and advanced settings, there is nowhere that I can adjust CPU or processor settings.

I am assuming you have windows 7... though I may be wrong ><

if so this is what I'm talking about: http://i34.tinypic.com/xn7vk4.png

I am currently playing on my laptop but I also have a netbook and I played morrowind on it while my laptop was in repair, this is how I got it to stop laggin'


If you don't have windows 7/vista on your netbook then there is still a way to do it, but I can't remember how because it has been a long time since I used XP on a laptop.

I have XP. If anybody has done this while running XP, I'd appreciate some help.

I've been working on this problem for days I'm ready to play some MW!

Try setting the power plan to "Home/Office Desktop" and playing on AC power (or always on and then it wont matter)

Nope. Not even a little bit better.
