I am currently using windows vista. And i wanna play counter strike on vista. Any ways to solve it ? since my com will hang when loading or starting the counter strike in game. My frend also faces the same problem like me. He is using windows vista too. I heard numerous friend of mines using vista also unable to play. Anyway to solve it ?

YEs ! We r on the same boat.

i dun have tat problem...

but sometimes it hanged after it loaded the main menu background but not the main menu.. i just re-open the cs, then it is fine..


how about set the program to run in compatibility mode?

i am using vista (enterprise) and I have cs 1.6installed and working just fine. am using a laptop btw.

i think u juz need to change the compatibility in the properties of the counter strike u're playing. Check the box "run this program compatible to" then choose windows xp SP 2 or wat. Haha . I manage to solve it

vista sux.... i also have same problem....!!!! XP the best!!!

im using vista ultimate... i dont have any problems wit it
btw u might wanna update ur vista to vista sp1? its worth the try..

im using SP1 also ... so far ok lar...

only some maps in CS are custom ...when quiting the game gives me error...
other then that everything is ok ...
cheer mate

Erm, i was able to play counter strike on vista after changing the compatibility at the properties there. But now i am not able to play it anymore. Wat is actually happening ? any 1 can help ?

Reinstall STEAM and redownload. For me.. i just copy the whole STEAM folder from my other machine. hey.. it works well!

This is going to sound damn stupid... Is there any CS for Mac?

I don't think is a CS port for Mac. There is however native CS for linux (if im not mistaken) or you can run it through wine or cedega.

About the vista problem, maybe you should start dual booting with XP for games?

need to update your windows, & install back the directx 9 media runtime,

HEY! found a solution if u guys hang in MOTD. in the cs 1.6 directory... go in to cstrike folder.. find any file that has MOTD such as MOTD.txt or MOTD_HTML.. n etc.. n make those files to read only.. then it wont hang anymore.. tested 100% working. n btw if u guys got steam on ur lappie and u hav 1.6 standalone.. it conflicts for sum reason.. i hav tht problem.. when i download steam and install it.. the cs1.6 stand alone will hang when loading precaching resources.. after i unistall steam, evrything works fine.. HL engine hav problem with steam.. i hav a legit cs 1.6 and cz.. n i also have stand alone 1.6 and cz.. with steam around.. no way to play stand alone.. any HL engine aso cant.. even cs source.. i hope it helps

sounds like a lot of help

maybe ill give that a try

thank you for the post

btw tht applies to all cs game. 1.6, cz or css.

ts.. same problem like u... anyway.. i can run source but cant run 1.6 .. so i decide to chg back win xp.. although i buy my vista ORI for RM 799 last pc fair.. grrrrrr

i can run 1.6 on my vista business....smoothly.....i used a xp version instalation disc....and it worked fine...
