The Orange Box not working

VIKINGSLOLOL · 12-12-2008, 06:13 AM

I purchased the orange box with the intent on wasting a good lot of my life on TF2, but unfortunately whenever I start it up just as the main menu loads the game crashes and an error message stating "must have pixel shader 1.1" shows up.
Funny thing is my video card supposedly has pixel shader 1.1 supported.
I run a toshiba satellite p35 notebook with 3.46 GHz Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 processor(2) 552 supporting HT Technology, ATI Mobility RADEON 9000 IGP graphics controller. (hoping for a new computer this christmas

)

I have the latest drivers that toshiba provided for the video card, but those go back to 2005 and I don't think they'll be releasing anymore. If anyone has a good idea to get this to run I'd appreciate it.

Hello VIKINGSLOLOL, and Welcome to TSF
the problem is with your graphic card, it's built in you mother board, so I doubt that you have Pixel shaders, cause the majority of Built-in Vcard don't have it, don't rely on the Laptop to play games, so I think you need to wait for christmas to get a new PC and play the game.

i was afraid that'd be the truth.
I just found it odd that I can play Half Life 2 no problem and since most of the Orange Box content is just mods of Half Life 2 that I'd be in good shape to play it. Oh well, I'll just wait to get that fresh computer this christmas/birthday (bday is day before xmas), so hopefully i can get someone to spring for something real nice.
thank you for your reply good sir
