Did you install the latest Half-life update???

Dave

Try to download the latest patch. I did have the same white blocks and
noncolored uniforms, but they went away once I installed the latest 1016
patch.

Btw, I would suggest that you don't use the Creative Labs drivers. Get the
Detonator drivers from nvidia (www.nvidia.com) or the 'unofficial 5.08
detonators' from www.reactorcritica.com. Creative builds its drivers on
those I named as a base, but they're always behind. Using Nvidias own (which
btw work without problems on the Annihilator Pro) brings you to a more up to
date status (especially with Nvidia drivers being flaky all over for the
older ones).

I had the same problem...HL and GeForce lock up the instant the game part
started.  I tried many different BIOS settings, still lock-up.  Finally I
set the AGP ratio to 1/1 instead of 2/3 and OpenGL works great.  Before I
could use D3D ok but it looked blurry.  At the 1/1 ratio the APG is running
at 100Mhz (200 2x) though, instead of 66 (133 2x), so It may not be wise,
but it works!

Abit BM6
Celley 366@550 (and even 567, AGP @ 103)
192 MB Micron Cas2
3D Prophet SE (shitty edition, 110/143)
SB Live
Realtek 10/100
250 Watt PS

my problem with half life is OpenGL has all the background textures fine,
but the guards and scientists and other character are just white, no
textures on them.

Any ideas?

(I've tried both Creative and Nvidia drivers)
