Hi DeFrag,

Try setting the resolution in HL to 1024X768.

DeFrag: You sure you deleted the TurboGL file from the Half-Life directory before starting the game to really use the ICD? I just ask because I do not experience the mentioned problem!

[DeFrag]

Im at a friends house right now, working on his computer. Ill be home around 4PM EST and Ill try that new resolution. Yah im sure I took out TurboGL before running normal ICD. IF all else fails I may reformat Sunday or so. Damn ;p

Well, Im home now. I tried 1024x760 and it didnt change anything I still crash on exit from Multiplayer games in OGL and TurboGL still doesnt work. I just completly reinstalled Half-Life. I found out that I can play the Hazard Course in OGL and exit and resume without crashing. But when I try to play a Multi-Player game it crashes when I try. WTF!? I just want to play Counter-Strike, is that to much to ask!? Poor poor me.
