It seems like you are facing issues with Counter-Strike on your Windows 7 laptop where the game hangs when trying to connect to an online server and select a team. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps for Counter-Strike Hanging Issue:​

1. Graphics Driver Update: Outdated graphics drivers can lead to performance issues. Try updating your graphics driver to the latest version compatible with Windows 7.
2. Compatibility Mode: Sometimes running the game in compatibility mode can help. Right-click on the game's shortcut or .exe file, go to Properties -> Compatibility tab, and try running in compatibility mode for Windows XP or Windows Vista.
3. Run as Administrator: Running the game with administrative privileges can sometimes resolve hanging issues. Right-click on the game's shortcut or .exe file and select "Run as administrator."
4. Verify Game Files: If you are using a platform like Steam, verify the integrity of the game files. This can help fix any corrupted files that might be causing the issue.
5. Disable Full-Screen Optimization: Right-click on the game's shortcut or .exe file, go to Properties -> Compatibility tab, and check "Disable full-screen optimizations."
6. Check Firewall and Antivirus: Make sure that your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking the game's connection to the servers. You can temporarily disable them to check if they are causing the problem.
7. Check Network Settings: Ensure that your network settings are configured correctly. Issues with network configurations can sometimes lead to connectivity problems in online games.
8. Game Settings: Try lowering the in-game graphics settings to see if the hanging issue is related to high graphics settings causing performance problems.
9. Update Windows: Make sure your Windows 7 system is up to date with the latest updates and patches from Microsoft. Some updates can improve system stability and performance.
10. Reinstall the Game: If none of the above steps work, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling the game to see if a fresh installation resolves the hanging issue.

    Additional Information:​

    • It's recommended to back up your game settings and files before attempting any major changes.
    • Ensure that your laptop meets the minimum system requirements for Counter-Strike.
    • Consider upgrading to a newer operating system as Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, which can pose security risks.
    Try these steps and see if they help resolve the hanging issue in Counter-Strike on your Windows 7 laptop. If the issue persists, feel free to provide more details for further assistance.
