Ho dear after all i've said about setting up al listening server! eg that I had done it.
Well it did work!
Now even removing all cfg commands and starting from scatch.
>The key point is that you are using the hl.exe that is in >the steamapps users email account directory.
Firing of this hl.exe with no params.
Loads Steam. bottom right status bar.
Right click on this select play games
Select counter-strike and click starts counter-stike main window.
Select new game.
I choose de_dust
Game loading. Starting local server.
Game crashes back to desktop.

Any Ideas guys?

Thank,
Hunt.
