Black Screen on CS:S, sounds work

[TremendousLion]

I'm on a substitute computer while I save up for my new one after mine broke. Whenever I boot up CS:S I get this...

The box in the corner is the Console, as my launch settings for this were Windowed and Console. I can still hear the clicking sounds when I move my mouse over where the buttons are. When I click play in my steam games, they try to tell me my drivers are outdated (I am using a GeForce 4MX XD) but I downloaded the latest drivers.
I've tried several different launch options, uninstalling and reinstalling CS:S, and even uninstalling my drivers, restarting, and downloading the newest drivers for this integrated GPU.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get CS:S running on this computer?

DXdiag uploaded below just in case.

go into the BIOS at startup and make sure that the maximum allowed RAM for video is selected

I would also suggest inputting "-dxlevel81" in properties

Neither of those things worked, also my BIOS only allows a very small amount of RAM in video, is there any way to override that?

Steam insists that my drivers need an update, but nVIDIA begs to differ...

I had problems with Source on my old PC years ago... You should be able to set your RAM useage for video to atleast 512mb(?) in BIOS

Adding -autoconfig gave me this...



My RAM usage is like 256 I think for video.

have you tried launching in full screen mode?

Same thing as windowed. All of my specs meet with CS:S's minimum requirements, 2.2 Ghz processor, 512 MB RAM (Which is what I'm heapsizing), DX 8.1 ...

to me it sounds and looks like an issue with Direct3D - make sure ALL DirectX Features are enabled

How would I go about checking this...
This is also happening in pretty much every game I download...

start/all programs/accesories/system tools/System Information/Tools/Direct X Diag Tool/Display/ --- make sure DirectDraw,Direct3D and AGP texture aceleration are enabled(buttons should say "disable" when they are Enabled.

They are enabled, but when I test Direct3D 8 and 9 the spinning cubes have a similar texture to the screen I posted before. Just a spinning cube with a bunch of random colors.

My integrated GPU is fried... anyone got a PCI (not express) Card I could have?

Can't say I do (and I need an AGP card to get a 10 year old computer working again). Just go and spend 30-50$ and get a new one.

Yeah I just opened the computer to find out I have an AGP slot. This might widen my horizons a bit.

Well, I found out my true problem, it is a .Net Framework issue... now to see if I can solve it.
