    A couple weeks ago, my dad got a new game, called Medal Of Honor Airborne for our PC. When he tried to play it, it said that it required a better Video Card to play it. So today, my dad went out and bought a new video card, along with a new poewr source to go with it. I replaced the new parts (thank you computoer maintinence class) and plugged everything back in. I installed the new stuff, and yet the thing tells me that the video card is not supported. I tried reinstalling it, and yet that didnt do anything. Also, when ever I scroll up and down, the screen looks all glichy. Im not sure what else to do, so im pretty open for suggestions right now.

      Does your rig meet every single one of the system requirements?

          It should, but does it? Check the manual.

            Well it could be the driver for the videocard. A freind of mine has a similar problem with his video card. It should have the latest driver, but maybe an aerlier version of the driver would be compatible?

              The glitch fixed itself apparently, and I had thought about drivers as well. But I think I've found the source of the problem. You see, my dad hasnt up dated his computor in about a year, so its pretty far behind, plus, I forgot to disable all of the anti-virus protection software before I loaded it. So my dad has about two hours of work ahead of him, downloading all of the updates, uninstalling the video card, figuring out how to disable the anti-virus software, and finaly re-installing the card. sounds like fun

                No one's upgraded our desktop since like, 2003. But then again, the only thing upgraded was RAM. :P

                I NEED my own PC or laptop. But not for Christmas. I'll wait 'till my birthday to ask for a fancy $3000 model that I know I won't get in a million years. :ph34r:

                  What company made the graphics card? What series?

                  Example: My graphics card is a Nvidia 7950 (GT I think)
