This guide is to help you to understand a little more about these two Forums, and help us clean the Forums from any unnecessary topics. We would like to help you with any questions about steam and counter-strike but some questions can already be easily answered by just using steam support or checking if your computer is up to date. Please look over these few guidelines before posting: Basics
Sometimes all it takes is a few tweaks to fix the problem. Try lowering your video settings if you have a problem with the game. Try restarting your computer. If you want to, also try reinstalling the game.

Counter-Strike: Source System Requirements
If you're having trouble with your Counter-Strike: Source, are you sure it's not your computer that's causing it? Make sure your computer fits the system requirements. Gnatman007 has helped us find a tool that checks it for you! Go https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?p_faqid=366. There will be a 'Diagnostic Tool'.
System Requirements
Minimum: 1.2 GHz Processor, 256MB RAM, DirectX 7 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Updating DirectX
Have you tried updating your DirectX? Even if your DirectX already matchs recommended or minimum requirements try updating it on the web site any ways. Sometimes games can't even run because you have a out of date DirectX. It's also never bad to plan ahead.[/align]
Updating Graphic Drivers
If you think the problem is your graphic card, update the graphic drivers. Properties>Settings>Advanced>Adapter>Properties>Driver>Update Driver
