If the repair shop replaced your pixel-shader enabled card with one that doesn't support pixel shading, then they downgraded your card and I would demand a replacement card that supports pixel shaders. Any full-featured card from ATI or Nvidia made in the last two or three years will support pixel shaders, except the GeForce MX series, which you should avoid like the plague.

Hehe that's what happened. :D I had a GeForce 3 but it was giving me problems and would cause my computer to randomly reboot by itself. It was replaced by a GeForce 4 MX without me knowing - I didn't realise until I got the computer back.
It was a relative who replaced the card for me, so I should be able to swap over if the need calls for it. Still, might as well be sure if HL2 works on MX cards or not.
