I don't know, I have it though. If you want me to send it to you somehow, or upload it somewhere I can. I don't know why you wouldn't have it though, that seems kindof odd. I wonder if once you get this one, it's just going to ask for another dll file. Sounds like it wasn't installed properly or something.

Hey i just emailed you my client.dll file. Hope that helps you out

 

[hpkeeper]

yeah... send it to hpkeeper@twcny.rr.com, I installed it like I would install any other program, it does most of it itself.. so I don't know...

 

[hpkeeper]

okay, thanks!

 

[hpkeeper]

okay... something wierder just happened... I moved the file into the directory and it says "Do you want to replace this 588k file with this 588k file" blah blah blah the normal windows thing... wtf is up w/that???? it was already there!

its a prob with the install, you HAVE TO download it again, then install again

j/k, just uninstall, restart, install, restart, open, hope it works, tahts what my friend got

You probably downloaded the wrong CS version. If it gives you a message about "different version of client.dll" or some other file when trying to play, that's the most likely cause. Look for (and download) counterstrike 1.0, not 7.1. The filename should be cs10.exe or something similar.

 

[hpkeeper]

yeah pretender, I got 1.0, I may just need the most recent updates for Half-life though... Gimme about an hour, cuz this is gonna take a while...
