Ok I'm not sure if this post should be in here or not, but when I take a screen shot in game play everything is fine, but when I paste it in Irfan View, Microsoft Picture It or even Paint it looks horrible, where you're able to see the pixles, even when I post a picture on the forums. I'm not sure what can be the problem I've tried to tinker with the graphics option in game play but it's still the same, I'll post a pic and how it looks. I'm not sure WTF! is going on but I'm not able to solve it, so much help or some advice is very greatful.

Thanks- MIKE

Post your LFS game settings.

AA and AF?

16 or 32-bit screen???

16-bit 1024x768- 75 Hz

Not sure where I can find that at nor do I know what it means.

32 bit is a good starting point, even if its just for taking screenies.

AA makes it look "smoother" without the jagged edges BUT it willl lower your FPS a LOT

Well on the screens option i click show 32 modes i click Yes but what mode is good, there's many of them

Ok is AA in options? If it is where can i find it at?

its in your driver settings, if you have an nVidia card ill dig up a giude, if its ATi you need to use google and if it's intel then don't bother!

How excatly can i find that out, i'm also woundering what kind of video card i got and if i beed to upgrade i'm not sure if it's ati or pci express or what.

in LFS>Options>Graphics. Look above the "HVS" setting for the Yellow Text"

It says Intel(R)

OUCH - Dont bother, your graphics card is crap (it isn't even a graphics card) - just forget it until you can afford something better

Well i can afford something better, just what do i need?

512mb Graphics card at best buy for 175$ us, i'm not sure what to get?

Well it depends what you have...

Mb isn't that important (over 256) - but Core is, what slot do you have (AGP or PCI-e

HaHa have no clue, where can i find it out?

No, its really simple, and I can even post instructions if your not sure how.. Change the plate to something friendly, or people may think your some kinda n*b..
