_-~Counter-Strike~-_ Unable to minimize then maximize?

[Echo419]

Alrite. Counter-Strike 1.6

Once I minimize the game, whether in the start menu, or in game. I can minimize it no problem, but when I go to maximize it, it goes to a black screen, but all the sounds are still goin on in the background, I can even still move around, I just can't see what im doing because its a solid black screen.

Any ideas?

I know its not because my computer isnt good enough, any help would be apreciated

Hmm.. are your drivers all up to date?

[Echo419]

For my card? I believe so, because I just bought the card last week... Should i try using omega driverS?

[personman]

I dunno, whats an omega driver?

Try setting your ingame resolution as the same as the desktop res.. if it isnt already

[Echo419]

it is set the same... well i just installed new drivers i <b>highly</b> doubt it will do anything but hell why not

[personman]

Maybe it would be appropriate to post in the steam fourms..

Some games don't like being minimised/maximised. Half Life is one of them, it's extremely picky. For example, it works fine on my machine, but my friend cannot. I can't imagine why you'd need such functionality.

doesnt work still

[fire1811]

just because you just bought the card doent mean it has latest drivers. but you said you already updated so..


what resolution are you trying to use?

[Echo419]

1280x1024, but my LCD, and my card both easily support this.

Could try and just reinstall

What about the rest of the computer?

I could never get my 1.5 version to do it.
