Zagrao 0 Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah yeah, seems simple enough, yet when I run CS:S on windows 7, all I get is a blank screen.I can still connect and mess with options, but I won't be able to see it, if I type connect (Ip address) in console, it will try to connect to a game and then crash. anyone know a solution to get CS:S working with windows 7?I already have steam set on administrator.

Kai! 3 Posted March 3, 2010 well, did you update your pokemon hacks?did you just install window 7 and started playing css for the first time or is this just some random problem that poped out of nowhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zagrao 0 Posted March 3, 2010 lol, I'm being serious.I had installed Steam and whatever games I had on my D: drive.I installed Windows 7 on my C: drive and now have tried running CS:S again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clay 24 Posted March 3, 2010 Reboot, check drivers, delete everything but cstrike from Steam/steamapps/yourusername/Counter-Strike SourceThat's how I'd do it, in that order. Don't worry about deleting the files. Those are just extracted copies from the original counter-strike source shared.gcf file. So if you have CSS installed, you always have those files.I keep my Steam and games folders on my 1TB drive and I've never had a problem with it not working right after reinstalling/upgrading/downgrading (from XP to W7. >_<) operating systems.

-DragoN- 2 Posted March 3, 2010 Did you say that you backed up all your game's on your D before installing win 7 then just load them straight up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zagrao 0 Posted March 3, 2010 thats what I do. I installed steam on D: drive, installed all the games on D: drive and also run from D: drive.I installed Windows 7 on C: drive (after reformatting to remove good ol Windows XP) and now it doesn't work right.

Dojima 7619 Posted March 3, 2010 Right-click CS:S in the games screen, click properties, click set launch options, and enter -windowed. See if that works. 2 Rayne and KiLLeR reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaos 2 Posted March 3, 2010 Windows 7 blows and so does Windows Vista. So many problems with the two of these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zagrao 0 Posted March 4, 2010 the -windowed works.... But I like full screen D: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dojima 7619 Posted March 4, 2010 You should be able to change the options in game afterwards and take out the -windowed to make it work. 2 KiLLeR and Dakota reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctark 1983 Posted March 4, 2010 Windows 7 blows and so does Windows Vista. So many problems with the two of these.Na, Vista is shit, 7 is actually good.What do you use? Redhat? seriously though... what? and have you even tried win7? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dojima 7619 Posted March 4, 2010 Vista and 7 are identical as far as I'm concerned. 2 KiLLeR and Dakota reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clay 24 Posted March 4, 2010 Na, Vista is shit, 7 is actually good.What do you use? Redhat? seriously though... what? and have you even tried win7?Well, you see, before Vista and 7 came out, this version called XP came out. All the kewl kids still use it. And Red Hat is for fags, at LEAST use Fedora if you want a RPM-bin based distro. srs mang.Vista and 7 are identical as far as I'm concerned.Quite possibly the only time I will ever agree with you.

You've got a monitor that has a res of 1920x1200, and that resolution isn't selectable in the menu? 2 KiLLeR and Dakota reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitch 2111 Posted March 4, 2010 You didn't say you did it or not, but check your video card drivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zagrao 0 Posted March 4, 2010 video card drivers are up to date, first thing I installed when I installed the OS.Meh... I guess I can live with the lower resolution for the time being.EDIT I did find the option for 1920 x 1200 but it will not run in that resolution on boot up. I can switch to it and it'll work yes, but not via start up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
