Need language.inf file

[Guest]

I'm trying to install Counter-Strike and keep getting hung when it can't
find the language.inf file. I've looked at the Sierra FTP site and can't
find it.

Can anyone help? Thanks

youll probably need to illegally burn the game, did you buy it, why doesnt
it have the file?

Is it a legitimate copy? If so don't bother with the CD just download
the steam installer with cache from www.steampowered.com and use your
CD Key to sign up for an account

If you are installing from a CD you will need to download the steam
version anyway as it is the only way to play now the WON servers are
gone.

Thanks for the reply. It is a legit copy -- but I'm trying to load it on an
old PC (Dell with Win 98) for my kid and wonder if that isn't part of the
problem.

What is this "Steam" site? I'm a real newbie. (I played Doom and Quake
years ago, but have been out of the loop for a couple of years).

Thanks.

If you do try Steam and CS1.6 on Win98, my experience is that it's unstable,
buggy and causes system crashes.
Steam was developed with the 'notion' that everyone is going to be on
broadband and using Windows XP.
LOL, read my other whinging posts about it, in this newsgroup.

Counter-strike up to version 1.5 which is what you probably have on a
CD used a CD Key authentication system known as WON (World Opponent
Network) since version 1.6 (the current version and only one that
works on-line) the makers of CS, valve, switched over to their new
authentication and software delivery system known as steam and the WON
servers have been discontinued.

Steam is responsible for authentication and software patching and must
be used if you want to play counter-strike or any other Half-Life MOD
on-line

The game you have on CD is pretty much all out of date and even if you
manage to install it you won't be able to play on-line you need to go
to www.steampowered.com and follow the get steam now link to download
the steam installer with full CS cache (it's pretty big) and then sign
up for a steam account with your CD Key from your disk (it's free)

The minimum specs have been updated along with the whole game and you
should check the website to make sure your old Dell will run it
