right i have a problem with half life and i've been through the search function and couldn't find a anwser for my problem. I installed the game and also the latest patch, when i play in direct3d the game plays (very fast time wise by the way) but the console "~" is not available and if I hit esc I get no menu but a black screen. If I try opengl I either get a white screen after starting a new game or it locks up at loading. i can't figure out what to do and it's really starting to wind me up. i know some peope just say hit the f-key for quick save but this doesn't really help when i want to play c-strike online. please help me.

my spec is this Geforce Annihaltor DDR 256 MB Ram Duron 700 MSi K7t Pro board SBlive DX8 Geforce 7.17 Drivers ------------------

i'm having problems aswell with the msi k7t pro. what sort of problems did you have during setup?

I was wondering if anyone can help me. My machine spec is as follows - MSI K7T Pro (MS-6330)motherboard Amd Duron 700 128 megs of 100 mhz ram Creative Annihalator Pro Sound Blaster Live Value Intel Pro 100 Network Card 13 GiG Hard Disk Drive (Using FAT32) 4.05 GiG Hard Disk Drive (Using FAT32) What happens is when installing windows 2000 i get a unknown had error was caused in ntdll.dll and the system just crashes. i reboot it a couple of times and it carries on with the install. I get into windows 2000 eventually and the machine will work for a bit. I then install the via 4-in-1 driver pack and something strange happens. I reboot the system and when i try to update the detonator drivers my computers hangs. i clean out the old drivers install the ones. reboot and instead of windows coming back the screen just stays black when the desktop should come back up upon reboot. i then have to back to using the standard geforce drivers included with win2k. i will then be using win2k for a couple of hours and the computer will throw that error up again and this time will not allow me back in. my bios is up to date and i'm using the latest drivers. the strange thing is i checked everything was compatible in the charts on this site and according to it it should be. if anyone could help i'd appreciate it so much because win me is really starting to frustrate me as an alternative.
