Anybody had this problem with Half-Life/Counterstrike?
Here's the situation. I upgraded to a new system and re-installed Half Life so I could get back into playing Counterstrike. After installation the CD-Key input screen appeared. I entered the CD-Key, click O.K. and then the program locked up. It does this every time. I bought Half Life when it first came out and never had any problems on my old system. My specs are:
Intel P3 933MHZ
128 Megs of SDRAM
Seagate 20GB Hard Drive
Creative Labs Annihilator 2 32MB GeForce2
Diamond Monster Sound MX300
DirectX 8.0
Windows ME
I assumed something might have been wrong with my Half Life CD so I purchased the retail version of Counterstrike and un-installed Half-Life. The game installed fine, no problems with the CD-Key, the Valve intro plays without any problems. When I click on any of the options on the main screen the game locks up every time. I installed the version 1.1 retail patch, yet the problem persists.
Drivers for both the Diamond Monster Sound and the Annhilator 2 are the lastest from Creative Labs and the last Aureal update available. I've also tried Nvidia's reference drivers but the same thing happens. I've run Scandisk/Defrag/Virus Scan a few times and haven't seen any problems. Everything else installed on my system (No One Lives Forever, Baldur's Gate 2, Unreal Tournament and Red Alert2) runs without any problems.
Does anybody have any ideas on what might be causing CS and HL to lockup? I'm assuming that the problem is my video card.
