I have an Acer Aspire 5050/5051 laptop with these specs:

- AMD Turion 640 Mobile, 2ghz
- ATI Radeon Xpress 1100
- 1GB RAM

The problem I'm having is with Team Fortress 2. Now, I've read about my card, and apparently it doesn't support Phong shading, but it supports Gouraud shading. When I run in DirectX 9, it occasionally crashes with a blue screen and unreadable text. Also, the particle effects, such as the Medic's "heal ray" don't show up. Now, the problem is when I run in DX8.1. It works, and the effects work, but the Uber-Charge doesn't work properly (either doesn't show up, or just makes the character completely blue), and Gouraud shading isn't enabled at all. Also, the facial animations don't work in either DX level. I watched a video on Youtube

and the person playing was running TF2 in DX8.1, and his game has Gouraud shading, and a working Uber-Charge. If I could get it working in 8.1 and looking like that I'd be happy. So, I was wondering, does anyone know if, and how I can get it working like the video? Thanks.

Oh, the processor "AMD Turion 640 Mobile, 2ghz" should say 64 Mobile, not 640.
