THXN! oh man i totally forgot to pop in the gpu...stupid! ...lol..anyways ...one more question...everytime i launch CS:S on steam...it says update driver...but ive done that...and still gives the same answer everytime i launch cs:s...???? any clues why it says that???????????
OK after you download the drivers you install them some where on your PC but that is not the end, next you will need to go to device manager and point your graphic card to the folder where you installed the drivers so it can update them

my bad but i cant find the device manager...where is it at?
no its my fault I should have stated
right click my computer>properties>hardware>device manager
or
right click my computer>manange>device manager
once in device manager look for your graphic card, right click it and then choose update driver,
you will now see hardware update wizard
choose these options:
no not this time and hit next
install from a list of specific location (advanced) and hit next
Don't search, I will choose the drivers to install and hit next
have disk and now use "browse" to navigate to the folder where you installed the drivers
if it installed itself then forget my post
