well im not to sure if its my video card but my country is in caribbean st kitts and nevis and they dont really have those gaming video cards like u guys do in your country i really want to play left 4 dead and im like so mad cause i dont have no games well i had san andreas online and i decided to move to my favourite game left 4 dead cause its so fun . i was at my mom on her PC and it works fine like a charm its a Windows Vista 64 bit 298GB but hear now im mostly at my dads and theres where i stay mostly not at my moms.. i go by her when i have rehearsal for graduation. its more quicker to reach from her.. but anyway i really love this game and im not that much of a tech guy yet.. i called a store to ask them about a PCI video card they replied to me its $ 53 and i might be buying it if u guys can help me out first before i make a move. i really wanna get ingame and kick some ass lol u know what i mean . i hosted a server couple times for my friends on my mom pc but at my dad its this problem i get now.

So i will like you guys to tell me what the problem is i would really Appreciate it

well so u guys think i should get new pci video card?

would u guys reply ASAP i need to get set for this no one even recommending what i should do

men nobody is giving me no help anyone please..

I'm not an expert on the techy talk but since nobody else seems to be able to help....

at a glance and a quick google I would say you need to upgrade your graphics card and upgrading your sound card might help along with more memory. Do you know how old your graphics card is? Mines over 3yr old and I wouldn't attempt to run L4D on my machine.
