My brother gave me his laptop to use until I get my own. I'm just getting into computers andmy cousin told me this computer is decent. It has 1.6GHz and 256MB of ram. He told me I can run Counter-Strike with this so I tried. It told me "unable to init shader system", and a good friend of mine told me that means I have a crappy video card.
I also realized that when I scroll through some sites, it scrolls very laggy and doesn't slide smooth like my family computer. Now I'm starting to think that it is the video card. I'm not to good with computers, but I'd like to know, is it my video card, also, if it is, can I somehow change it with this brand computer? My mom won't let me buy a new one, so I'm stuck with this.
