Windows 7 OpenGL Rendering Problem? Help needed!

[Banzai!]

Hey, first post here sorry if my English dissapoints someone.. Anyway gonna cut to the chase..

I have installed my favorite game Counter-Strike 1.6, and i have been trying to play it but when i start it i have it in OpenGL.. As i had on XP.. This is the only Video setting that my CRT monitor likes so i can fully utilize my 120hz..

Anyway this is the problem, When i start CS 1.6 in OpenGL mode it behaves strange there are patterns and stuff covering the screen i don't know how to describe it..

I have noticed that OpenGL works in "windowed mode" but not in fullscreen.. :/ anyone know how to fix this?

To address the issue you're facing with Counter-Strike 1.6 in OpenGL mode on Windows 7, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

1. Compatibility Mode:
   • Right-click on the game's shortcut or executable file.
   • Select Properties > Compatibility tab.
   • Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose an older version of Windows like Windows XP.
   • Apply the changes and launch the game to see if it works correctly.
   []Graphics Card Drivers:
   • Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website (AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel) to download and install the latest drivers for your GPU.
   []Launch Options:
   • Start the game and go to Video settings.
   • Check if there are specific options related to OpenGL rendering or fullscreen mode that you can adjust.
   []Resolution and Refresh Rate:
   • Ensure that the game resolution and refresh rate settings match those supported by your CRT monitor.
   • Use display settings within the game to set the resolution and refresh rate to match those of your monitor.
   []Video Settings:
   • Experiment with different video settings such as anti-aliasing, texture quality, and shader options.
   • Adjust or lower specific graphics settings in the game to see if it resolves the display issue.
2. Console Commands:
   • In the game console, you may also try entering commands like gl_vsync 0 or gl_clear 0 to see if it helps resolve any graphical glitches. After trying these steps, launch Counter-Strike 1.6 in OpenGL mode to see if the graphical issues have been resolved. If the problem persists, you might need to seek further assistance from the game's community forums or support resources for additional troubleshooting steps.
