I think you might be having old version of CS. Here's a guide I made how I managed to update it properly. http://pastebin.com/MywuH5ic

Tele42 commented 10 years ago

@Bukethead is this still an issue?

MrSchism commented 10 years ago

Closing due to age and no response. If a new version fails to work, let us know.

kingkriss commented 1 year ago

The issues with non loading etc, but it really does load if you look in your task manager you can see HL.exe and Rundll32.exe with it too. It's to do with running a 32bit game on a 64bit system, todo with syswow32. Now what i do for a quick fix is to, open task manager, right click on HL.exe and restart it, it reloads straight away. I use process explorer instead of the windows version, it's quicker and dont use no cpu.
