I recently purchased Battlefield: Bad Company 2 over steam. I have succesfully installed the game and launched it. Unfortunately when I reach the "installing DirectX" step, I get an error message that says Unable to find dsetup.dll. Did anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?
I'm not super smart on what the best laptop brands, so I'm mostly going on experience/feedback here.
Vaio + Toshiba are quality laptops.
Dell + Asus are decent quality and price.
HPs are a popular choice - but every HP laptop I come across is unusually hot, so I don't prefer them.
Acer I haven't had much experience with, but I hear are kinda cheap.
Regardless of what your choice is, I'd get a laptop fan to max your performance.

Thanks dude, I think I'll actually go with ASUS on my next laptop purchase. My friend told me they're good and they're not complete rip-off jerks like gateway. As a matter of fact, I already have a laptop fan and it didn't change my performance at all, other than decreasing the temperature a bit.
My current Gateway POS (Piece Of &*@$) laptop cost around 1,100 dollars. It was a good laptop for exactly 2 FREAKING WEEKS!!! After that everything went to pieces. GPU overheated to 100 C, HORRIBLE FPS, slow CPU, dead pixels, all that junk. Not surprised becuase the other day the laptop went 404 (non existant) from the main page(in only 5 months WOW) and Gateway refuses to tell me why. I was totally ripped off and their tech support (wholly Indian and illetarate) won't do a darn thing about it. Anyways, sorry to totally go on about my rage rant but my main reason is this...
What is the BEST gaming laptop company in terms of quality, reliability, and customer care? I'm hoping to sell my Gateway POS (doubt anyone will buy it though) and save up money until I can get a different one. I am just asking about what you guys would recommend for a company to buy a gaming laptop from. Thanks!
Neither the 360 or ps3 cannot utilize any AA whatsoever. At least ,that is what is what I was led to believe. It is really one of the staples of PC gaming atm + ambient occlusion.

So how come I see so little jaggies when gaming on the console?
lol no problem, some games just suffer from this rather annoying flaw.

Yeah, doesn't it kinda make you wish PC games were as reliable as the console counterparts?
Well alot of console games actually don't use AA at all.
But I do wish that the developers spent as much time/effort into optimizing the pc games/versions, as they do the console versions. For the most part optimization is focused more-so on the console side of gaming, though the next generation will really start to blur the line between console and pc. It has already started blurring it in many ways these past few years, and even some before that.
Wait... Console games don't usually use AA? How do some of the games look sooo smooth on HD tv's though? It looks a lot like AA to me.
