Title: Need new graphics driver.
Post by: nickad on September 08, 2008, 09:47:08 am

Hey guys.
I am pretty angry that I have not been able to run Half-Life 2 on my computer as my graphics card won't let it.
So, I have come here to ask what I can possibly do to get it to work on my graphics card.
If it helps, or people have experienced this problem before, I am getting the error "Internal driver error in IDirect3DDevice9:: present()".
My graphics card/driver (whatever it is), is a GeForce 6150SE nForce 430.
Hopefully you guys can help :)​.
Thanks.

Dude it's time to upgrade your video card. I didn't know the 6150 could run HL2 at 800x600?

My friend has an onboard 6200 and he can barely run TF2 in everything on low, I'm sure HL2 wouldn't be that much better. A geforce 7600 or radeon X1800 would definitely help out for only 60-70$(and I believe both come in AGP if you do not have PCIE).

But yea, install latest video and motherboard drivers, and make sure you have latest direct x redistributable.

He could get a lot of good stuff for 60-80$

Hmmm... I'll probably have to get one of those then.
