Ok finally got CS working with OpenGL. Heres what I did with my graphics adapter (hopefully something similar will help others). Apparently (at least with Intel) the new win7 drivers did not include OpenGL in them. All I had to do was download the latest driver package from Intels website and install it in compatability mode for windows Vista. Now playing CS :].
.. took quite a few tries. make sure the computer doesnt try to revert back to a different driver. also, when I finally did get the vista driver installed correctly, It had to restart like 3 times.
