Problem with Geforce2, w2k and halflife, please help

[Millennium 0]

Hi,

I bought a Outrageous Geforce2 to replace my voodoo3 3000, but now i cant run counterstrike in opengl in w2k. After won autetication its stops, always retrying, if i change to direct3d it runs ok, but direct3d sucks.

 

I formatted and have installed w2k again, halflife many times but always the same problem.

 

I delete my config.cfg etc ... but no go

 

I changed the Buffer Flipping Mode in the NVIDIA OpenGL control panel to 'Block Transfer' but no go

 

dont know what to do anymore ...

 

Any suggestion?

 

thanks

 

ps: sorry my english

what geforce drivers are you using??

 

I have a GF2 MX and im using the 6.31 ref drivers with it overclocked and it works fine.

I tried the 5.* drivers, 6.18 and now i'm using the 6.31 , same problem.

 

Others games that run in opengl like quake run great.

I had a similar problem and it caused by Win2k not allowing WON to properly access the Half-Life auth file.I set authorization access to everyone that uses the PC ,for some odd reason it ran fine for several weeks then after one map change WON authentication failed repeatedly..until I changed the access
