i wanted to play HL and i installed it
i started it the first time and it told me to go to 16 bit depth which i did,
When i started again it went to a messy screen and simply froze?
can anyone help me with this issue i know nothing. I read that you have to start it and apply Opengl and res you want with a speical command.??
Thank You
special command?
the only thing you have to do (this is as long as you have the drivers installed for your video card) is open up cs, and go to video modes and set it to use opengl as opposed to software mode, there is nothing special....
well
IA32 = 32 bit pocessor (pentium, athlon, etc...)
IA64 = 64 bit processor (intel itanium 64bit processor)
AMD64 = 64 bit processor (amd opteron 64bit processor and Athlon64 processor)
so i am willing to bet you don't have a 64 bit processor, so you'll be downloading the IA32 driver...
