Re: Portal not working.

Hi, welcome to TSF

Your graphics device is onboard rather than a dedicated card. This is one possible reason why the game won't work because onboard chips often don't have the advanced features of a graphics card that are required for modern games.

Have you installed the latest graphics driver, motherboard chipset drivers and DirectX?

Go here to see if your computer meets the game's minimum and recommended requirements. It will tell you which, if any, of your components are not good enough.
