    Hi, I can't seem to get my team fortress 2 start on my studio 15, i only got the 4500MHD chip, is that where the problem is? I've updated to directX 10 and everything but it still will not start for me after the intro video, just a black screen with a white mouse that i can move around.

    If anyone know how to fix this it'd be greatly appreciated, thanks

    I'm not sure why even the menu won't load, but you wouldn't be able to play anyway with that graphics card. Heck, even the dedicated ATi Mobility 3450 256MB struggles to keep up at 1280x800 sometimes.
