HL Crashing, not client.dll

[Xucan]

Ok, I'm a n00b, and I really enjoy the game, until it crashes. I went into a game by myself and found that whenever I attempt to use spirit bomb, HL closes. I'm not 100% certain this is what is causing me to crash in multiplayer games, but it sure does when I'm alone. Any ideas on what the heck I messed up?

is half-life updated to the latest version? 1.1.1.0
what are u runing in?
opengl
direct 3d
try changing these about until u find that one works for u
what are ur system specs? do the all match up 2 half-life requiremnets?

If it crashes whenever you try a spirit bomb, its most likely your video settings. Change to OpenGL or Direct3D like Kain said, and the problem should be solved.

Yup I have the same problem....
And if your card is up to date like mine, the only other option is to get a new video card. And if you don't have an AGP slot on your computer, then you need a new computer :S

are you sure you haven´t used the wrong api?
hl comes with 2:
the mini-gl (for voodoo-cards) and the normal open-gl (for all non-voodoo-cards)
