please help me !!! thanks guys

Basicly your graphics card isnt supported for Half Life 2. You really need a fully Direct X9 compatible card like an Ati Radeon 9000 and above. But to have some decent detail you should really be going for the Ati Radeon 9800pro which is about £140. I'm not sure on whihc Nvidia cards are fully supportive of Direct X9, but i'm guessing all the FX series.

i really havent got that kind of money anything cheaper that would work?

also my comp does have direct x 9.0

thanks anyway

Your computer may have DX9 loaded, but your current graphics card can't handle it, it would seem.

From the scant information supplied on the card above, it looks as though it has a SiS chipset, which is something of an oddity now, to be honest.

Try looking for prices on a Radeon 9200 or an Nvidia FX5700.
