    I have a Radeon 9550 graphics card and when I try to run any of the Orange Box games it tells me the drivers on my graphics card are outdated. I tried to run the driver update, but it didn't work and I searched the internet for the newest drivers, but I couldn't figure it out. Can anyone help?

    Yeah. first goto http://www.guru3d.com for the latest drivers.
    Direct link is http://downloads.guru3d.com/Videocards---ATI-Catalyst-(32-bit)_c18.html (im guessing its the ATI catalyst unified driver)
    Download tht and save it to your pc.
    Then right click on 'my computer' and goto properties (or select 'system' in control panel). From there open hardware and click on 'device manager'. From that list expand 'display adapter' so it shows your present video card. Then right click on it and choose 'uninstall', this will remove the old drivers from your system. Then reboot, goto where you saved the new drivers and run the new driver pacakge... reboot after that and your done ... :)

    Uh... I'd recommend using the official sites drivers. Those ones from guru3d might be fine but there's no reason to go through a middleman.

    http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

    Should be pretty straightforward from there.
