Take your pick of Detonator drivers from 12.41 up. The 20.80 dets should be out soon, and provide a modest boost for the MX.

thanks , i updated the drivers and openGL works.... but it still doesnt play properly ..........

 

I was playing and this message popped up " sorry the halflife executable has an error and will close the program" ????

 

AppName: hl.exe AppVer: 1.1.0.7 ModName: client.dll

ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00056603

 

and then dumped me back to desktop .......... also if i drop the console in CS the game crashes ??

I've noticed XP doesn't run HL too well in D3D or OpenGL. I'd guess just play around with different drivers.

I know I've seen something about getting HL to run fine in XP somewhere here, I just don't remember which thread.

May also want to check the Games database here for any hints.

Brian its fixed mate , runs so sweet

XP rocks .........

 

You can switch WinXP into compatibility mode on a shortcut by shortcut basis for troublesome appz or games. It works like this: You have a game or app that won't run under WinXP, you right click the shortcut and choose properties, compatibility mode. A drop down menu shows you the different modes you can switch to (Win95, Win98, Win2000, WinNT). Pick the one you want and then your program will run.

 

Superb feature.

 

Im running it in 98 mode .... and its great

 

 

man thats so cool .............

Oh, yeah. Forgot about that, since I didn't use it, and am not running XP anymore.
