My CSS broke somehow

If you are bit using latest driver then update. If you are then you should switch to an old driver and use that until a fix is released.

What is funny is that this is not really the video cards fault but the game for having unstable or corrupted files. The issue with the video card is just that it is forcing the user out before they play the game rather than crash the entire computer later on.

Yea Ive actually gone back and am currently using an older driver. So far it now lets me play 3-4 hours before kicking me out of game instead of an hour of play. Funny thing is there are 4 newer updates that dont work... which tells me there is no promise the next update will fix any of my problems.

I have about 33 of these in my problems and solutions folder

That says CS:S crashed from a problem in Internet Explorer (mshtml.dll), which Valve uses for the MOTD in game and web browser in the game overlay. The DLL is a few versions old, too.

Try going to Windows Update and grabbing all the IE updates. Might stop the crashing.

I also noticed a few years back that CS:S hates it when IE has a huge internet cache. I had mine set to 3 GBs (my way of saving a copy of every website I visited). When I toned it back below a gigabyte, the crashing went away for me. So, also take a peak at your IE cache settings.

Anyone heard from MBP? Is he okay?

I get that hl2.exe error all the time. Usually when I minimize to check msn when the map is changing. Gets annoying after awhile, and I never was able to find a fix for it.

The fix would probably not to be on msn, or any chatting device, CSS is sensitive and a lot of things interfere with it, and it ends up getting a critical error.

Or when you tab back in and every texture is purple and black boxes.

I hate that.

Yeah I know, that's what I was trying to say.

OK WTF IS THIS SHIT. So CSS never worked for me, and ive been trying everything. Finally today i completely uninstalled steam and deleted every trace of steam off my computer. I re-downloaded steam and reinstalled CSS. And the same fucking thing happened. OK if this doesn't work i dont know what could possibly be doing it. Somebody please come fix CSS on my computer because its just CSS. TF2 and all my other games work perfectly, but CSS wont let me join a server. HELP!

Just get ready to install windows 7 when it comes out. That should fix the problem as long as your format your hard drive. Then reinstall all drivers.

By the way since you're a student you can get it for $30.
