An easy way to find out what card your running is by doing this

1. Click the Start Button
2. Type in "DXDIAG" then press enter. "Direct X Diagnostice Tool" menu will pop up.
3. Click on the tab that says "Display 1"

Copy and paste all the info under " Device" and post it here for us..

Dude, what kind of computer is this ?

Can you open it up ? and see if there is even a video card in it ? Or if its onboard ?

Sounds like something is seriously wrong.

This is way off topic..

You should make another thread in the tech help section regarding this question..

Or search the steam forums for help regarding this matter, im not sure the issue here.

I recommend a ATI Radeon HD4850. I have one and it destroys all. You can pick one up for less than $200. Alternatively, if you'd like to spend a little less money, Newegg has good prices on the Radeon 3870. Both cards will rock.
