Half Life problems

[luisjpr]

Ok, I finally got HL installed thanx to a howto I found on the net. The problem is that when I try to change my resolution and use the OpenGL drivers the "The 3D info link will help you set get the current drivers for your system" or somewhere along the lines. The thing is that if I click on cancel I'm stuck with software rendering. If I click on OK then the thing attempts to start Internet Explorer and it crashes so I cant set my resoluton and OpenGL. Any suggestions??

PS: I know this should be under the linux games forum but I dont think that forum gets much traffic.

i think you could set resolutions with wine. i don't the the arguments but it should be found somewhere on winehq

The thing is that I want 3d acceleration also and it can only be set within half-life itself (as far as I know) which is what I cant do.... If only there was a way of disabling that dialog box that calls Internet Explorer....
