<div class="IPBDescription">Not about the short cut! :p</div> When I install NS, it installs fine, and I can play fine... but If I go to the server list and try to join a server from the built in server browser, it says that NS isn't installed <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
I can join games manually through the IP address, and play that way, but its really annoying, often times servers fill up so fast I can't get in because of the time it takes to write the ip down on paper (b/c stupid half life doesn't allow you to copy the IP addy from the server browser) and then type it in.
Then when I go to the custom games option were you can switch the mod you are using, if I click NS, it says its not installed, even though I can play it if i type it manually.
I have Half-Life game of the year edition w/ TFC from like 3 years ago, I run windows XP home, my shortcut works fine, I just can't join games from the server browser by double clicking em, I got a fast computer and no hardware problems other than the game isn't registering as installed with half-life.

copy&paste into the console works fine for me, try it again it should work, which is pretty useful
