I can't play most games on my computer

CRIMINAL SCUM!
The graphics card sucks so bad that most games can't even be run on my computer.

Meanwhile, most games I want to play that are old enough that my graphics card can support can't be played because they are not Windows 7 compatible.

    ^ Compatibility mode?

    -Team Fortress 2 and Portal 2: Artifacting is so bad, it covers the screen completely
    -Morrowind: Artifacting all over the place, and character's bodies disappear, so that they're just floating heads walking around.
    -Warcraft 3: Graphics get covered in shadows at random intervals

    These games used to run fine; I only started having problems after I first started Team Fortress 2. It's weird.

    Does that even DO anything? Because fuck all since that's EVER worked for me.

    Team Fortess 2 alters your graphic card settings.

    Try:

    Minecraft
    Ur-Quan Masters
    some GBA roms
    Yume Nikki
    Sins of the Flesh VN
    Sono Hanabira
    Flintstones Rumble

    ^ So if my graphics card settings are altered, how do I change them back? Uninstalling the game?

    Also, only 3D graphics have been the problem so far. And Minecraft still works.

    I used to have that.

    Then I upgraded.

    It was the best day of my life.

    Play Dwarf Fortress. Graphics are completely unrelated to why it'll make your computer lag.

    Commando Dude: Sounds like you're playing old PC games.  You may want to look into DosBox for some of them.  For those that don't run in dos...I don't really know, actually.

    Sometimes old Win3.1/9x games will run in a Virtualizer, but only if they don't require any sort of 3D acceleration (sadly, most of them do).

    If you have Need For Speed 3 and/or 4, I know of unofficial patches that can make them run on Vista and 7.

    I should NEVER have installed windows 7 on this POS computer of mine. I'm going to try making a partition and installing XP.

    Still waiting for an answer to this.

    I would turn of the computer and make sure that the graphics card has plenty of air flow and the fan is not covered in dust. It sounds like a overheating issue.
