Yay Fry's!

Anyways I googled your laptop.
Turion 64... (1.6ghz amd, dont know the correct PR number) x300 grade graphics chipset...

Um those games should run just fine.
Do you get any errors?
Why don't you go to windows updates and see if they have an update.

Consider downloading an update of DirectX9c
Vist ATI.com to download the newest video card drivers.

Uninstall... software wise yes...
Anything more you shouldn't... There are some laptops out there that let you upgrade the video card but I don't know about yours. You just have some software error we have to figure out...

Basically go to the device manager and uninstall...

I believe ATI also has a driver cleaner tool... but that probably isn't necessary. Try to find some more specifics on the error. That way we can see if we can narrow down the cause.

10.6": These are considered ultra portables. They are very light, usually under 4 lbs and very portable. However due to their size, do not expect a full size keyboard, a powerful processor or any video card period. Some do not come with an optical drive and rely on an external one if needed. They are generally expensive in comparison to their larger counterparts. In general, ultra portables are aimed towards those who emphasize portability above all others, such as business users, at the expense of performance. If you travel long distances and prefer to carry something light, then a 10.6" should suit you well. But if you intend to do any kind of 3-D gaming, this is NOT for you.

At a minimum ragnarok should run okay....

The Avertec site said the 2100 series has a x300 grade video card... which means its better than a geforce 2. Not sure what I can compare it with 1:1 but it should still be able to do it. Even if it does it in slow motion it should be able to do something.

Okay... can you tell me what it does... if it does anything at all..

hit start->run.. DXdiag
Go to display, click test direct draw, test direct 3d.

Im hoping for some data as to whats up with your setup.

And that indicates that the games you are trying to play are based on direct 3d.
I honestly don't know wehre to go from here with the exception of reinsalling drivers, directx, and I think thats about all I can think of...
