heh, this is an age old problem. It isnt your video card or any of your hardware. It is a flaw in Beta 7 and all the versions. make a shortcut to halflife on your desktop, then right click on it and goto PROPERTIES then at the end of the command line type in " -console " so that the line reads \halflife DIR \ hl.exe -console

 

that should fix it. if it doesnt post a reply there could be something else.

 

Good Luck , Sparkhard

My problem with Half-life and Win2k, is that when I press ESC to get to the main menu, all I get is a black screen.

The computer doesn't crash, cause I can alt-tab out of it. The game plays fine, and the menu shows up fine when I start the game, but once I'm in, I cant seem to get out.

 

Thanks.

To enable the console in Half-Life make a shortcut to C:\Half-Life\hl.exe -console

 

THE ABOVE DID NOT WORK FOR ME UNDER WINDOWS 2000 PRO

 

 

AND YOU ACCESS THE CONSOLE BY PRESSING THE ~ KEY RIGHT?

When in the main menu you click the Console button. While in game you press the `/~ button.
