theres a halflife inf file

for win2k

normally that is used if halflife doesnt even start in win2k

but i thought i would just ask u if u have the inf file installed

just a thought

another thing is i sometimes used to have progs runnin opengl in halflife but i fixed it unfortunately dont know how

was long time ago

so maybe try runnin it in d3d if u have it runnin opengl

Updated to latest HL version? Original and older versions don't work in Win2k.

I belive that it only happens when you are running HL in OpenGL right ??

So i only played in D3D for a while and it never froze on me again...

Brian Franks has the link to a patch that AMD has made it should fix the problem with OpenGL :-)

I have the same problem under OpenGL & I've tried a whole range of NVidia WHQL drivers (6.22, 7.58, 7.76 & 12.41) without any success. I'm also running the latest version of HL (1.1.0.7).

This is happening on a PIII-based system tho so I wouldn't think its a Athlon-specific problems.

Its REALLY annoying tho as all my other games work just fine - I would stick to D3D for HL-based games except that it doesn't like ESC'ing to the menus (black screen - but from what I've read here previously that's another "known issue").

I've reloaded the systema few times since I noticed the problem (albeit really more so for 'housekeeping' purposes) but it STILL occurs (really annoyed me while trying to finish Blue Shift)

Has ANYONE managed to get this great game running under a setup like this:

Hardware:
DELL Dimension XPS T550
Intel PIII @ 550Mhz
CL 32MB Geforce DDR
CL SBLive Value
40&12GB Maxtor IDE Hard Drives
Toshiba 6x DVD
Plextor 16/10/40 CD-RW
Lucent v90/v92-ready H/W modem

Software:
Windows 2000 Pro (+ SP2)
IE 5.5
DirectX 8.0a
Nvidia 7.76 WHQL drivers
SBLive WDM drivers


Thanks in advance for any help guys!
