Hl2, css, tf2 GMOD Source engine shadow glitch

superbboy · 09-26-2009, 07:25 AM

Hey guys it's me superbboy,

I got a problem with the shadow sprites on css, gmod and tf2.
This only occurs when i use XP on my computer not when i use vista or windows 7.
This is totally weird because on my other pc it runs fine.
I hope somebody can help me :(

Can I see your dxdiag?

This will tell me eveything except what PSU you have

For Windows 7 do this

Start menu
type "dxdiag" without the quotes

For your PSU you need to take off the side of your case and tell me what it says on the label for the 12v rails, the wattage and the make/model of it.

This is what a PSU is.

Well windows 7 fixed the shadow glitch but i got an other problem also has to do with games.
I'm a gamer that plays a lot of retro games that run on OpenGL.
Do you know something to speed up the OpenGL rendering on windows 7.
By the way.
I'm using a laptop.
