@master drei

.....nope

@sylv3rblade

i don't know much bout hardwares.. so that means i need to change my video card to a higher one?
i've also tried the link you gave before, yung vid card ko daw eh pang recommended setting but needs driver updating which obviously i did afterhand. so the vid card seems to be the culprit after all.. hmm..thx anyway.

^ maganda yang pc mo sir, yung sakin nga (3yrs, P4 3.0ghz, 6200TC 256mb, 768mb ram, xp sp2) pede pa, yang pa kayang sayo. hahaha. pero kagulat tong pc ko, kaya left 4 dead (640x400, low-settings) hahaha.

Currently testing Windows 7. Naninibago ako, pero, in fairness, mabilis siya.

Wala pa akong iniinstall na mga drivers. Currently, for internet and MS office use lang muna siya.

[mo0gle]

yung sakin, naghahang eh.. hanggang "starting windows" lang inaabot.. dammit !

Baka hindi kaya ng PC mo...

Ok, for God-known reasons, bigla ako nadc kanina.
