    It's an ATI Mobility Radeon X2300. I tried to play CoD: Modern Warfare 2 and the text are unreadable. Like this: http://forum.i3d.net/attachments/te...43191780d1257850387-text-unreadable-cod6z.png

    I just got the image from a forum. My card can handle the game cause i played it by clicking random menus on the screen cause i cant read it. The problem is that i can't read objectives, etc.

    Anyone have a solution?

    That card uses the ATI Legacy drivers so the latest one for that card is ATI Catalyst 10.2 (Win XP/Vista) for legacy devices.
    You could try testing MW2 with that.

    The mobility X2300 is actually a DX9 product, iirc. The lowerend ATi mobility products of a gen are normally last gen's products, with a new name.

    ^And Call of Duty MW2 is a DirectX 9 game. There shouldn't be anything wrong.

    Anyway, try taking your question to the Call of Duty section at the Steam forums:

    Modern Warfare series - Steam Users' Forums

    You'll probably find more help there.

    The X2300 is far below the MW2 minimum requirements.

    It looks like some aliens from Alienware translated some of your text.
