Just put the Nvidia 5.16 drivers on my system, for my CL TNT2 Ultra. RUnning win2k. Now when I try running Half life, I get "Half Life requirers 16 bit color. Please set desktop to this...." No idea why I get this. Desktop is in 32bit. I have played this game many times with 32 bit desktop. ANy ideas? Even setting it to 16 bit doesnt work.

It's that compatibility patch from microsoft that screwed it up... here is the .inf someone made to fix it:

halflife.inf

Save this, right-click it, and choose install. This removes the compatibility info from the registry, allowing it to run normal again smile
