I have also had ppl tell me that it is the cd-rom drive.

I have created a thread regarding this at the FA forums already along with at the PHL forums and the NS forums.

But my HL isnt defective. Here are my specs which have worked for quite a while until last week.mboard -- ABIT BH-6 cpu -- Cele 500 scard -- SB Live! vcard -- Geforce 4 MX 420 64mb mem -- 128mb RAM os -- Win 98When trying to open the pak file using either PakExplorer or PakScape I get the standard red x error "Error reading pak file." When attempting to play I get the error "Cannot open gfx/shell/splash.bmp" I thought I fixed this with placing a splash screen of my own in my gfxshell dir, but that didnt work to well as all it did was go further on down the line and give me another error stating that it couldnt open another file. The files that I need are located in the valve pak file. Since the pak file will not open with outside programs or HL itself the game wont run.

Okay for the past several days I have been expierencing a strange problem that prevents me from playing any and all HL games and/or mods. The pak files in my game folders wont open. They wont open when the game starts and they wont open by using PakExplorer or PakScape. I have uninstalled and reinstalled HL at least 1/2 a dozen times now. I have formatted and re-installed Windows just as many times. Even with the complete new installs of both HL, it's mods and Windows my pak files still refuse to open. I have no clue as to why.Plz help me out here. I cannot play any HL engine game until this is resolved. What could be causing the prob? Would flashing my bios fix the prob? That is the only thing I can think of that would fix the prob because as I have mentioned earlier neither reformatting my hdd and installing Windows nor uninstalling and reinstalling HL and its mods have solved the prob.Help me plz. I dont want this to be the end of my HL career.

A test? but....but....but...I didnt get to study!!! Im not ready for a test!!

You do know that the CS commandemnu is different than the FA commandmenu right?

Agreed. If a person wishes to debate the Iraq situation they can always goto the flame ridden, idiot filled Firebox on the FA Forums.

If you email me at... bobyaddayadda@hotmail.com ...I will send you a FA commandmenu customised with HLAmp. I would have attached one to this post but the TA forum does not allow for attachments.

Hi Elektra!

I'm 36, soon to be 37.

Gotta love Seattle radio!

I found that if I do a full update w/o the filter then set the filter it works, however I no longer use the in-game browser. Try using The Eye. It can be found here...... http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/ . Much faster and better than the in-game browser.

Ive been a fan of "The Residents" for something like 20+ years now. I love them. Duck Stab/Buster & Glen was the album that did it for me. You can tell "Primus" was heavily influenced by them.If you like "The Residents" check out "Negativland", "Renaldo & the Loaf" and "Laurie Anderson."

Here are 3 popup killers for ya. Proxmitron is my fav, altho I use all 3.PopNot PopUp Stopper Proxmitron

Or just type "status" in your console. That should show your kills even tho the scoreboard wont.

The "no-kill shown" is a great idea. I supported something similar for NS on the Voogru servers. But........ the FA team is going to be deluged with ppl whining and complaing about how they dont like it. You can bet all sorts of immature comments are going to said about it.
