Define poo a bit more specifically. How do the other Source games run?

Hi Paul,

Currently Day of Defeat is missing a lot of the sky textures, stuff is
flashing and artifacting all over the place. I am using the latest Vista
drivers from Nvidia's beta site. I have, further, pushed down the direct X
level to 8.1, 8.0, 7 etc. All to no avail. The lower levels actually just
crash the game.

I have not tried any of the other games because, to be honest, it's really
all I am playing. I also have tried giving myself full administrative
rights to the steam folder.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Johnathon

I went to the steam suport before I installed beta 2 and it says that STEAM
is NOT compatible with vista as of yet. Guess we just have to wait till they
come out with a steam platform that supports vista and its capabilities.

Steam works just fine, HL2:EP1 plays okay, although slower than XP,
for me.
