I FIGURED OUT THE XP/OPEN GL PROBLEM!

forget all the jargon everyone says to do. I just recently realized the problem. For Half-Life, at least. First, right click whatever HL shortcut you use. Click Properties. (this is for XP users only). Click the Compatibility tab. now, there should be a box which you must check in order to enable a little pull down menu. It says something like, run this prog. like Win. 95. I selected the Win. 98/ME. It works now! E mail me at Brando43@aol.com if this works. I want to make sure this isn’t just a random thing that convieniently works for me.

It is not the answer to everyone’s problems. That was one of the first things I tried. All the salespersons and manufaturers of games suggest that first for XP. It is not random, it just doesn’t solve my problem (can’t play Fifa 2002 without crashing!) Win XP, RAge Fury Pro 128, Athlon 750.

Eh…false alarm…I realized that it didn’t do a dang thing…: ) The cause of the brief success of the Open GL was due to the fact that it was the first time I was playing since I reinstalled the game. For some reason the first time I play after installing HL, it works. Any time after that it doesn’t. Also, Return to Castle Wolfenstein works. So none of this makes any sense.

It also worked with medal of honor

Do u hav Medal Of Honour Allied Assault for PC? If u do, wen u try 2 play it does it say this technical stuff?:

dude, you better not be ditching Half Life. They’ll release a patch or something. But if its MOH, go right ahead! Half-Life owns all fps’s!
