Hey, I'm using the TF2 free weekend on steam, but when I try and run it, it starts in windowed mode and gets to the 'powered by source' ad, and then closes.

i've tried making it run in full screen with the -fullscreen command, it didnt actually change it to full screen

ive tried running it in safemode, still didnt work

i've tried changing the width and resoluting, still didnt work

i've tried copying the binkw32.dll file into my team fortress 2 folder

heres my specs, maybe its something to do with them?

I just got this from the saved file from DxDiag, but on there I noticed it said the graphics card is not available, i have recently formatted my PC, and i did not install any graphics card drivers (not sure if i need to/have cd's)

any help would be appreciated.
 
Yes, you need drivers for your Graphics card they are the most important thing. Without drivers your graphics card is useless and no graphics card means you can't play games. Download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card.
