Children can't play in team two fortress even with steam.

Children can't play game that they bought online called Team Fortress two and they have downloaded the necessary steam that is needed. When they try to play a pop up says that we need pixel shader version 1.1. Children say that he should buy the new graphics card. What family card for windows XP Edition? Children say direct X. I say we find that it is good for our computer. Windows 2000, XP Home Edition. Can we just installed a graphics card or do we need Microsoft? Can we do online with the Microsoft store? It allows to save a trip to installing it, or do I need to have my husbans work guys install something? Thanks, we have already spent money on the games that would not be executed and now want to solve the problem.

Hello DDTOELKES,

Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

Your questions will receive a response based on the hardware that you already have in your machine. If you have a look at the material, then you can usually find what type of graphics card you need for your machine.

There are 3 types of video card: PCI, AGP, and PCI-Express. PCI and AGP cards in types of video card older but still usable in some machines. The differences between these cards can range from the minimal to the very radical. In other words, there will be differences in the way in which these cards connect to your motherboard, the power of graphic processing, the support of DirectX and the amount of memory that the graphics card has at its disposal for graphics rendering. If you know the type of video card slot that is available in your computer now, you can find a local retailer or online and buy the video card appropriate for your computer. If you do not know the type of video card slot in your computer then you may need to have an experienced friend or a professional take a look at the machine to advise on an upgrade as appropriate to your computer. You want to make sure that the processing power of the computer manages both recent games.

Installation of a new card will require someone with some technical skill. While the process is not complicated damage can occur if it is incorrectly installed.

    If I try to load videos hosted on YouTube, they won't charge, they will not show even a placeholder to show that something should be there.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) which can block content (e.g., Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that these extensions are not blocking content.

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    Mozilla has not supported OSX 10.4 and CPU PPC since Firefox 3.6 has been replaced by Firefox 4.0 in March 2011-4 1/2 years. Firefox 4.0 and newer for Intel CPU and Mac OS x 10.5 and later. The closest you are going to get Firefox for this old Mac PPC now-a-days is Ten-FourFox.

    Firefox is a software open source. everyone is free to build their own version, as long as they follow a few rules pertaining to trademarks - IOW, change the image to something else.

  • Firefox does play not any what Flash, even with the latest Flash installed

    Hello

    My firefox is unable to play any Flash for months.

    Here are the questions:
    1. If I want to watch videos on Youtube, it turns out to be just as black (by clicking on the video can trigger the icon well break).
    2. If I want to watch a Web site with Flash, it just loads the first 2 seconds and then Flash freezes.

    I have read all the help information in the forum and tried several solutions (see below), but none of them worked:

    -Uninstall and reinstall Firefox
    -Uninstall and reinstall Flash:

          1) when entered Youtube without Flash installed, the website asked me to install Flash but it somehow ended to a failure so I had to manually download and install
          2) after installing Flash, I also went to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. I can see the version info but not the animation of the banner - it just shows a red box and then disappears after a few secs.
    

    -Reset Firefox
    -Use mode browser safe
    -Install the latest version of Realplayer
    -Analyze the State of the plugin on the Web site: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    -Disable hardware acceleration in the advanced option
    -Regenerate the file "pluginreg.dat".

    I use WIn 7 (64-bit), with Firefox 24.0 and Flash11_8_800_168. I spent too much time on this issue and now I use Chrome to view the video.

    Hope this can be resolved with your help.

    Thank you!

    Hi Jeffery, I'm not familiar with a lot of your plugins. In the event that one of them could have an impact on Flash content, could disable you any that you do not use on a regular basis? (Set to 'never activate')
