    I'm having a problem finding video drivers that I can use to play CoD4 for this laptop. I'm also having problems playing CS:S. It's not that old, i just bought it last month. Also I'm having problems with my bluetooth and wifi. It seemed like a good laptop when i bought it.

    Can someone please help?

    unfortunately, that may not be the only problem you have if you were planning to play CoD4 on that 'thing.' And your description can't be any more vague. it's like going to a physician and expecting the doc to read your mind and wave his magic scalpel.

    If you're having problems running CS:S, then you'll have even bigger problems trying to run COD4.

    I have no idea what the specs are for that laptop, but by the looks of it, I doubt it has a dedicated GPU or even a half-way decent integrated GPU.

    More information is necessary if you're serious about this question.

    Jesus Christ guys. This was a joke. Where the hell did you put your humor today?

    Notice that the picture is titled "xp-hacktop". It's one of those toy laptops you buy for your 8 year old. Notice the keyboard doesn't have a spacebar, and the numbers are below the letters. Also notice the yellow toy on the left with speakers, and the green toy laptop on the right. The picture was taken in a toy aisle!
