Ok guys I have been looking for solution for a couple weeks and have found no help so I thought I would try here. I am running windows XP on my mac. I canot get counter strike 1.6 to run and I am playing trying to play it through steam. I launch the game se the screen with 2 cts on it then it crashes. No error messages or anything it just goes back to my desktop.

Whats I don't understand is the fact I can play COD4 via steam flawlessly and warhammer online flawlessly. I have the latest version of directx 9 and the latest driver for my video card (catalyst 9.1 I think0. I have tried forcing steam into compatibilty mode and tried to use steam launch options to to run the game in directx 7 and still no go. I had a friend mention sli to me but I am using an ati card and from what I understand crossover is the equvilent. is my card in cross over mode and I don't know it?

Mac specs.
ati HD 2600 Pro
2 gigs of ram
2.6 dual core
windowd XP pro SP3

thanks in advanced.

No idea honestly, but crossfire would not apply unless you have two video cards so count that out.
