Lower you resolution.

I can't even run any Source games in fullscreen except Left 4 Dead 2. I have no idea why.
Dapizzanator:
Yeah, the resolution change worked perfectly. But I still need a bunch of console commands to be entered every time I play. Is there any way to get to an autoexec.cfg? Putting the codes into the Launch Options didn't seem to work.
Edit: These are the commands I used, if anyone wants them:
r_3dsky 0
Mat_grain_enable 0
Mat_disable_bloom 1
r_shadows 0
r_decals 10 (Yeah, that's 10. Not a typo)
r_waterDrawreflection 0
r_waterDrawrefraction 0

There really is no lower resolution that still works for 1440x900.
If you have a monitor that has a 'perfect' resolution of 1280x1024, then you can lower it to 1024x768 or 800x600 and it'll still look decent. If you try and lower 1440x900 to something like 1024x768 then the entire screen will be stretched because its a widescreen.
