Vista - A counter strike 1.6 problem

Hi all
I am momo and this is my first post . I hope you can help me with my problem

My laptop is using vista 64 bit , I installed counter strike 1.6 on it
it works but when creating a game and after loading the map it freezes and when
clicking " ok " to enter and select the player , it can't be clicked and i cant go back by
clicking " Esc" button and i must close the game by " ctrl , alt ,del"

please help

try updating to the most current patch?

also have you tried updating directx?

I already have directx 10 . I even downloaded counter strike 1.8 still same problem

hey i had the same problem but i found a way to fix it but i dont know if it will work for you but you can try it

disable slide bar if u got it on
disable vista aero
disable all backround programs while playing (msn, internet, music,ect..)
so basicly disable everything when you play only leave steam on
i hope it works for you

Thanks It worked
