Half-Life 2 Help

[Saszam]

No one will help me.I post a thread about how I need help with Half-Life 2 and they ignore me.Well,I hope you won't.

So,I enter -dxlevel 91 in and Half-Life works.I decide to play the next day and it crashes shortly after the loading screen pops up.What should I do?

It should be 90, actually. 91 might be one too, but I don't think so.

91 is for something else, 90 is what he should be using.

When I click play on Half-Life 2 a unknown video card appears.
It says:

OS Version:Windows Vista
Description:Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express
Version:7.15.10.1518

does that help?

Garry's Mod runs when I put in -dxlevel 7.Plus Fallout:New Vegas(retail) runs on low quality.And Half-Life 2 Lost Coast runs good,too.Anything else?

Put it in DXlevel 81

Don't laugh, that's how I got it to run on my laptop.

I'm not laughing, that's how I made it run at a playable framerate in Crossover.
