    So you're seeing all the NS graphics, and looking at NS servers?

    What video mode and res are you trying to use?

    1) look at all the random posts about probs with CS retail (there are ALOT, one might contain your fix)

    2) don't use the desktop short cut (only use the custom game tab)

    Ive looked through everything, my problem is I can't even play, at the NS

    main menu I can't even open CONSOLE, it wont work and Im not using

    the desktop shortcut I use my own NS icon that I created from the info on

    these forums.

    Yes I can see all the forums, and I've tried all graphic modes, software, open gl, direct 3d

    I am 99.99% sure of your problem. Add -nocdaudio to your command line.

    Also, make sure you have the latest version of directx installed.

    Use www.gametiger.net to connect to games. You might be able to get in that way.

    What OS are you running?

    If it's 2k/XP check the taskmanager to see what your CPU utilization is doing just before/after you crash.

    What happens if you just start up CS normally, then try and connect to an NS server through the built-in server browser?

    Is you install path C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\ns or something like that?

    I have a g450 millenium matrox...A word of advice...Thats possibly the gayest video card ever introduced to humanity...^^
    Now about your console problem,...well i have the same problem on DoD,and no other mods so i suggest u re-install NS...How many times does it crash,and after how many times did u try it,cuz i deleted my NS cuz i coudnt play it because it kept freezing when the screen is supposed to pop up...It worked 2-3 times in about 25 tries so i suggest u try...and try...and try...oh and btw changing resolutions might help!
