Author Topic: Computer / Steam Question  (Read 294 times)

I just tried to install steam on the laptop im currently using. THis laptop can run TF2 and i intend to play it. However Steam froze up this computer. I had to go into safemode to get it off. I looked online and it said i have to update my drivers. How do i do that?

Well firstly, you'll need to figure out which driver(s) to update (I'm guessing you need to update your graphics drivers). Once you've figured that out, press the Windows key + R to open Run and type in "devmgmt.msc", then press Enter:



Once Device Manager is open, look for "Display adapters." Once you've found it, expand the tree and look for your graphics device. In this case, my graphics device is "Intel HD Graphics" (hooray for stuffty graphics cards). Double-click on it to open its Properties (or right-click and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu; you can also skip this step by simply right-clicking and selecting "Update Driver Software..."):



Once you're in the Properties window, navigate to the Driver tab and select "Update Driver...":



If updating the driver doesn't work, roll back to the previous driver until a working update for the driver is released.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Steam still wont run though :c
