Alright I'm Trying to get a Valve game to run through Steam while utilizing the rules that I have preset in 3D Analyze.  The only executable that I can get anywhere with is the Steam.exe one.  Of course this executable only brings up steam.  I know that adding "-applaunch 440" to the end of the Steam.exe shortcut opens TF2 directly, but this does not get me into the game that I want to have running.  Does any one know how to modify or creat a new executable that will force TF2 or any other Steam based game to open bypassing the middleman (Steam UI)?

EDIT Let me rephrase this question/post:  Has anyone gotten a Steam Game to run through 3D Analyze?  If you have, please aim me down the same path you took so I can try to get some of the Half-Life games working... specifically TF2 in the MSI Wind.

The Integrated card in this rig doesn't have TnL capabilities but it does have low to mid range DX9 capabilities.  The first game I am going to try to conquer is TF2.  If I get that working with this rig, expect a full feature listing in this thread.

Once again, I am sending out a mass request if anyone has had success with integrated cards working with COD4 or TF2.  Any help can shave time off my quest to get this to work.

Thank you all.

I am just checking to see if anyone else has played with an MSI Wind Mini-Notebook.  I have gotten many things to work on the notebook without tweaks including Quake Live beta and BattleField Heroes beta running.

I have been playing with some FPS (i.e. TF2 and COD4) on lowest settings to see if they run to no avail.

Before you ask "what am I doing with such a laptop?" I'll tell you that lugging a 7-14 pound lappy through airports, trains and taxis get tedious and extremely tiring.  This MSI wind is perfect for travel.  I just want to play a little more than Quake Live, Uplink, Peggle, and Defcon.

Please, anyone help me.  Also we can record all our findings on this site to help other out if they too decide to take the same path I have.  I can tell you that about 6 other guys I work with have the same laptop and want to find out the same things.

Thank you in advance,
Koslov
