Does anyone here play halflife/counterstrike with windows 2000 pro ? I can't get myn to work.

what is the problem? works fine for me....a but more choppy than ME, but it works with less crashes.

FYI...i havent tried the latest 1107 patch.

Try re-installing it if you went from win9x to win2000.

I had lots of crashes w/ win2k and SBLive! Now I have a TB Santa Cruz and no problems...

dang, everytime i run hl.exe it says "hl.exe has generated errors by windows and will be shutdown.you will need to restart the program"

 

[BlakkIce]

i run it ok i havent had any real crashes just minor glitches

 

[TruculentTucan]

i get that error with other games (GTA 2), but not HL.

What version are you trying to run? Try patching it to the latest, and get your latest video and sound drivers while you are at it. G/L.

Try downloading the latest Windows 2000 Compatibility patches, if you haven't already done so. I know that there have been a few releases of compatibility patches, and one of them fixed Half Life. Service pack 2 might be helpful also. (Of course, if it's not broke don't fix it)

 

[jockdisvdude]

hehe, thanks, man i'll go dl it once i can. hope it works

 

[jockdisvdude]

I installed service pack 2 and then now when I run it, it says i need service pack 3 ???

 

[lilnnjaboy]

there is no service pack 3 out yet.

the compatibility update solved all the problem with games in Win2K. I haven't had a problem with a single game so far in Win2K after the compatibility update.

What you need to do is download the update for half-life. Half-life was made way before windows 2000 and therefore half-life detects the os as an incompatible one.

You can download the newest update here:
