My friend needs help with his computer. Here is what he wanted me to post:

when i try to play cs:source, i receive an error that states "failed to set video more - resetting to defaults. game will now restart with the new video settings." after it runs its five second course, i receive another error that states: "failed to set video mode - fallnig back to safe mode settings. game will now restart with the new video settings." again, it fails. then, i receive the final error message that states: "failed to set video mode. this game has a minimum requirement of directX 7.0 compatible hardware."when source was first released, i used this video card, and it worked fine. a little slow, but fine. to my knowledge, it used dx seven, but, of, course, it had to. so why will not it work now?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
