ATI Radeon 8500LE problem in Half-life OpenGL modes

In OpenGL resolutions higher than 800x600 in Half-life and its mods, the top 1/3 of the screen has pink and green bars covering it. You can see a screenshot here: http://www.geocities.com/jep758/graphics/hl.jpg
I have the latest drivers, catalyst 3.2, and I have reinstalled Half-life, but I have not found a fix yet. Other games work fine with openGL. Could anyone help?

The radeon is the 64mb version.

Well, I’ve ordered Windows XP so I’m gonna reformat, then install everything fresh. The problem will hopefully be fixed.

I have the same problem.
Running XP, Radeon 9700 Pro and Counter-Strike. I’ve read an article somewhere saying that this is a known problem with Catalyst 3.2 (I don’t know if this is the case with earlier versions). Hopefully this will be fixed in Catalyst 3.3 .
Running CS in Direct3D works fine however

I found the article, take a look at the bottom of the page :frowning:

I’ve heard that Catalyst 3.1 works fine with Half-life…if so I’ll just have to run 3.1 until 3.3 fixes the hanging issue hopefully.

I’ve just tried ver 3.1, and…
it works just fine, so much for the Catalyst developer-team &%¤$##

Well, I’ll have to wait for ver 3.3
