Saphire Radeon 9800 Pro - HalfLife

I just purchased an Ultimate X3 from abspc.com with the Saphire Radeon 9800 Pro vid card.

It came with HalfLife Platinum Edition, which is HL, OP, TFC, BS.

All of the HL games do the same thing - you are playing a game, hit "Esc" and the menu page opens. "Save" or "Load" or whatever you want - and when you hit "Resume Game" you get a HL background, and you can HEAR the game playing, but can't see it or get in.

My son found if you change the selected resolution in HL, change it back, THEN hit "Resume Game" - you CAN see it and play normal - but this is annoying.

I have installed the latest Cats from ATI (4.1 I think), no help.

Any ideas??

    Have you tried playing it at a different res then what you are? Also make sure you have any HL patches if there are any.

    I have the same problem. I believe this was brought up over at Short-Media, and no one ever came up with a solution other than what you just said. If you find something, please let me know. I have a Radeon 9700 Pro, by the way.
