Gmod Help

[Pouch]

Ok, I just bought Counter Strike Source and Garry's Mod.
Whenever I try to start up Garry's Mod it immediately shuts off and this pops up.
"The selected screen resolution is not optimal." or something like that. It says I should play in 1200x800 but I already am. I know there is some code that you put into the Advanced Startup in properties to make it appear as a window but I forgot. Here are my specs.

Speed: 1956 mhz
Driver: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
RAM: 2037 Mb

Help please?

Right click the icon in your Steam Library.
Properties or something.
Startup options or something.
-dxlevel 90
Now it will start in it's default resolution, which I know it will support.
Set new resolution.
When you exit Gmod, just remove what we put in so it doesn't start up in default again.

It didn't work. Then I tried 80 and it worked. I'm keeping this up just in case.

So it's a Direct X 9.0 problem. :O
You really should do -dxlevel 81 then. It's the same as Direct X 8.0, but with better effects and quality.
