TheSlee Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I am nt sure if it is an error of my laptop, or if steam hates me, but I can play Counter Strike Source, Gmod etc (source engine games) but all the older games (cs 1.6, Day of Defeat etc.) dont run and they immediately shut down shortly after opening it (before it has fully loaded). There are no error messages but it just doesn't work. Quote
maynardvdm Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 What laptop do you have and what operating system do you have? If you can give as much details as possible it will be easier to pinpiont the problem. Cheers Quote We are all members helping other members.

TheSlee Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 nope, it isn't running in the processes Quote
Seth Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I would go to the laptop's site and download the latest driver for the video card. Follow the instructions for the installation, as most video card drivers require that you uninstall the current driver. Let me know if you need me to elaborate.
