Counterstrike Display Problem

I just got this game and started playing it the other day. But whenever I exit a game by pressing the escape button I get a black screen. I have to ctrl+alt+del it to close it and start the game again. Is this caused by a display problem? What video settings should I use?

I am running it on a Leadtek Geforce2 pro 32mb and Windows 2000 sp
 
yes that is a problem with D3D and half life. I do not remember the cure for it. Usually you can hit ESC again and go back to the game.
 
Try joining the game via an external server finder (All-Seeing-Eye, GameSpy) and you should be able to escape and come back in fine. You also won't lose your sound if you do so in the future, either.
 
I tried running it in OpenGL mode but I just get an error.

I'll try running Gamespy and see if that helps.

Thanx guys
 
Try to get OGL to work, upgrade drivers or something (it ought to work with your setup) - D3D is really not the display mode of choice for HL.
