    Well I assume I have my driver updated (my graphics card is the GeForce 8400m GS for an HP laptop). My problem is that whenever I play Half-life 2 or Day of Defeat: Source or Counter-Strike: Source decals on the walls like the windows or doors or character models from a far away distance seem to have a foggy texture to them but when you get up close it's just fine. maybe it's something with the way the video settings are? I don't know but if someone has the same problem or an answer please help?!!!

    Most likely settings are wrong. the 8400 gs isn't that strong of a card
