I installed the Modern Warfare 2 and of course it wont let me play because my computer sucks.
A window popped up saying my driver doesnt support shader 3.0 or some crap like that. I tried to download the update from ATI, thats the card I have I guess and it wont let me download update. What other fix is there for this. Im computer illiterate and just want to play the damn game 
Thanks for any help. |

Work on finding your driver update install it and restart. You could also put a little bit of your money into a nice brand new build this up coming black friday. You can really get a nice setup for little more then 500, and a really nice setup for 1000.
Just an option if you have the funds, you will be much better in game . |

I dont know if it matters but it is a laptop. How do I find the driver update? I found something that was supposed to be an update from ATI but it wont install. If you have an ATI card go to their website, find a drivers link and it should list models. Find out your card model, if you dont know look in system settings. That might work |

All I wanted to do was play the game tell me about it, i gotta upgrade my computer about every year and a half just to keep up with all the new games. (new ones will still play but not to full spec) people wonder why more of the cool games come out on consoles you dont have to keep buying new expensive hardware to keep up to date.  |

I know how you feel. But really just save up a little and get a desktop. Bad thing is all the Laptops out there that run these games perfectly run at like 2 thousand or more, then there outdated in another 2 years and you cant upgrade. A laptop that will play any game out there for $1000.00––- You wont find better for the money. Fully upgradeable but not needed.
